Edgecombe Community College has entered a cooperative curriculum agreement with Martin Community College that will allow ECC students to pursue a career as a physical therapist assistant.

Under the agreement, students can complete general education courses at ECC before applying to Martin Community College’s two-year Physical Therapist Assistant program. Martin will accept two qualified ECC students each year. Graduates will receive an Associate in Applied Science degree in Physical Therapist Assistant from Martin Community College.

Good Friday was an unforgettable experience for a group of Edgecombe Community College students who traveled with ECC President Dr. Greg McLeod and Selwyn Spence, ECC’s occupational extension programs administrator, to Morehead City and Atlantic Beach. Sixteen students spent their day off from classes to tour Carteret Community College and more.

Hosted by the Rotary Club of Rocky Mount, the Tackle the Tar 5K Obstacle Course Race generates proceeds that support scholarships for local students. ECC is looking for runners to join our team on Saturday, May 16! Registration is free, and the ECC Foundation will award prizes to the top three finishers on the ECC team. If you’d prefer to skip the 5k but still want to get involved, we would love to have you on our volunteer team. Your support ensures a great experience for both our runners and the community.
