Making the choice to continue your education is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. At ECC, we don’t take your decision lightly, so we do everything we can to be the best choice for you.

ECC is regionally accredited, so your college credits are transferable to other colleges and universities. In fact,ÌýECC sends more transfer students to Rutgers University, Montclair State University, and the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT)Ìýthan any other two-year institution in New Jersey. We regularly send our students to Ivy League schools and other top institutions as well.

Of course, many ECC students aren’t looking to transfer at all – they want to quickly enter the workplace with marketable skills. ECC provides corporate training for 61 area businesses, and our graduates have secured employment at national firms like Goldman Sachs and Prudential.

Whether your goal is to push your education even further, start a career you’ll love, or learn new skills for the job you already have, ECC aims to be the right choice for you.
