Students transferring from East Central Community College (ECCC) in Decatur to Mississippi's public four-year institutions continue to excel academically, earning one of the top 3 cumulative grade-point averages (GPA) among community and junior college transfers in the state. According to recently released data from the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL), ECCC transfer students achieved an impressive 3.30 GPA upon baccalaureate graduation.
This 3.30 GPA ranks third among the 15 community and junior colleges in Mississippi, further solidifying East Central’s reputation for preparing students to succeed at the university level.
ECCC President Dr. Brent Gregory expressed, “Our students' success at the next level is a testament to the quality education they receive here at East Central. I am incredibly proud of our faculty for their commitment to preparing students for academic achievement and of our students for continuing to thrive after leaving our campus.”
This marks another significant achievement for East Central Community College, which consistently ranks among the top community colleges in the state for transfer success. ECCC offers two-year pre-baccalaureate Associate of Science and Associate of Arts degrees in a wide range of concentrations, with courses guaranteed to transfer to Mississippi’s public universities under the state's Articulation Agreement.
In addition to its academic transfer programs, ECCC also offers two-year terminal degrees in healthcare, career, and technical fields.
