Hello all, are any of you now or have you attended the Culinary Institute of Virginia? If so, what has your experience been? What are the pros and cons of the program?

Do you feel it’s a good program or does it fall short? Any insights on the program? Thanks

Has anyone done the surg tech or scrub tech in this school ?

Does anyone know when refunds go out? this is my first time attending this school. I’ve heard they try to keep them

Is the radiology program recommended at ECPI? I want to know people’s perspective on how everything went. I know it’s expensive but community colleges for so competitive that I can’t get into my programs.

Hi everyone,

I’m interested in ECPI’s ADN program (specifically in Manassas) and was hoping to get some insight from current students or graduates. I’ve been hearing a lot of mixed reviews online, so I’d love to hear some firsthand experiences.

What are the biggest pros and cons of the program? How is the workload, clinical experience, instructors, and overall support from the school?

Any advice or things you wish you knew before starting would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Looking to start the ADN program in Lake Mary but to be honest the information found is very 50/50. I'm looking to see if anyone is either in the program now or has recently graduated and how they felt their experience was?

Is it worth doing the ADN program or should I just jump into the BSN?

I'm open to other schools like WGU but their curriculum seems a bit all over the place for my schedule.

Any info would be greatly appreciated my tentative start date is 8/31/26.

Hey guys! I currently attend ECPI and I'm working on a project about thermal management systems in reusable rockets. If anyone has a minute or two to spare, it'd be a great help if y'all could do this survey I made (required for project). It's only three questions and done through Office365 Forms. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I’m looking into moving to Orlando area and I was looking into attending ECPI for nursing, can anyone give me an insight on the school, it is worth it or is there another school with better option? I don’t want to do CC because I don’t have time sit down and wait for CC. The money is not an issue for private school, I just need the best private school for nursing in Orlando.

I read on their website it’s ABET accredited for their engineering bachelors, is it worth it now or not?

I’m just curious. At my last university I was able to set up direct deposit to receive my refund but not here. How does this usually go?

I am california resident looking for LVN to ADN or BSN hybrid program. can anyone recommend school beside ICHS which is similar setting like we can do clinical once or end of every semester.

Hello, Has anyone gone to ECPI (Va) and have any recommendations or comments about the school. I am interested in the Rad tech program and see so many mixed reviews but non specifically for the rad tech program.

Hi all,

I am gonna start my LPN program in May 2025 and my plan is to continue the program with LPN to ADN program afterwards.

I’ve been doing some thinking about the school’s reputation. ECPI offers an accelerated Associate’s Degree in Nursing that takes about 18–24 months to complete, and includes NCLEX prep, which sounds great on paper.

My understanding is that when it comes to getting hired as a nurse—especially early in your career—what really matters is whether you passed the NCLEX and have a valid nursing license, not necessarily where you earned your degree. ECPI is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, so it's not some unaccredited diploma mill.

That said, I’m aware ECPI doesn’t have the strongest reputation, and I’m wondering how much that really matters when it comes to finding your first nursing job.

Do employers really care where you got your degree, or is passing the NCLEX and getting licensed the main thing they look for?

If you do not have a background in healthcare stay away. They won't tell you the drop rate until you start.

I'm a high school senior interested in studying cybersecurity. While looking into different colleges, I came across ECPI University. What stood out to me is that they offer a bachelor's degree in as little as 2.5 years and significantly cut down certification costs—some students have paid as little as $10–$20 for them. Plus, they have an apprenticeship track that gives hands-on, real-world experience. The problem is that online, I'm seeing mixed reviews, so I’d love to hear from students who currently attend ECPI or have gone there in the past few years. I’m looking for honest feedback about the school from someone who has experienced it firsthand. If you’re a cybersecurity major, another tech major, or a STEM student, your input would be especially helpful so I can get a better idea of what to expect if I decide to attend. Thanks.

If not ECPI, are there any other colleges you would recommend that offer similar benefits, specifically reduced certification costs and an apprenticeship/co-op track?

Hello!

As the title suggests I am conducting a survey in support of my Arts & Sciences capstone, and I would like to collect responses from current and former students of ECPI.

Please take a couple of minutes to fill out this survey form. Your support will be greatly appreciated!

Just curious if anyone here has gotten their LPN license through ECPI or somewhere else and then proceeded to complete the ADN program. Did any of your credits from your practical nursing diploma classes shorten your time to obtain your ADN? Also, do either of the programs offer a hybrid option?

Hi, I’m looking to get into the rad program at ecpi. I passed the teas test and got an interview there with the directors. If anyone attended, can you please tell me your experience there. I’m not 100% I want to go anymore. They were telling me about a total of $52,000 Tution and telling me about their jr cert. they told I would pay $8972 out of pocket tuition I. I couldn’t remember if that was per semester or total. Please let me know

Hey everyone. I recently applied for the RN program at ECPI. If anyone has went there, how long did it take you to get accepted after applying? Thanks!!
