Former Peer Institutions

In 2011, peer institutions were selected by ECU in collaboration with the University of North Carolina System Office and were meant to be a meaningful comparison group, with a mixture of comparable peers and aspirational peers. (In the list below, aspirational peers are indicated with an asterisk* after the name of the institution.) Although guided by parameters set by the System Office (e.g., do not include any UNC campus), each school within the system could use whatever selection criteria were determined to be of most relevance to that school to create a list of peer institutions. These peers were replaced by a new BOG-approved peer group in 2020.
