The Triangle Business Journal proudly reported North Carolina had 10 of the top 20 &quotBest Bang for the Buck&quot schools in the southeast. ECSU fared quite well in the publication with a #17 ranking. This college guide has been published in time to help prospective students select an institution for fall enrollment.
