Application Update
Starting in spring 2025, East Carolina University (ECU) will require standardized test scores for admission. To meet ECU’s admissions standards, all applicants must meet the requirements set forth by Undergraduate Admissions, including submitting ACT or SAT scores for the 2025 Cohort Application. Therefore, students who wish to apply for the program must include their ACT or SAT scores with their STEPP application materials.
STEPP is offering multiple virtual Q&A sessions in April where prospective students, families, educators, and counselors can ask questions about SAT/ACT requirements.
