Charleston, SC – ECPI University is pleased to announce the opening of a North Charleston campus at 3800 Paramount Drive, N. Charleston, South Carolina 29405.


“We are excited about the new possibilities our central location provides,” says ECPI University Vice President of Strategic Initiatives Sam Dreyfus. “The larger site will allow for the expansion of future programs to support the region’s talent gap and better serve the workforce demands employers are facing with a booming Charleston market.”


The campus currently offers programs of study in nursing, medical assisting, cyber and information security, and engineering technology. It was previously located on Northside Drive.


“ECPI University is designed to support the needs of adult learners, and we enhance the classroom experience with immersive, hands-on labs, patient simulations and virtual reality,” says James Weaver, ECPI University Charleston campus president. “It’s our goal that graduates enter the workforce, they are prepared for careers in technology, nursing or healthcare.”


ECPI University has been offering programs in Charleston since 2003 and has two additional campuses in South Carolina located in Columbia and Greenville.

We are excited to invite you to complete a survey that will reveal which tools employers most desire when recruiting and retaining talent. South Carolina is developing a new statewide education and workforce portal—a centralized platform to help employers connect with talent, training resources, and workforce development partners. Your input is critical in shaping the features of this portal to best meet the needs of businesses like yours. This survey will help us identify the most valuable features for employers and how the portal can complement or enhance your existing tools. Your feedback will directly influence the development and prioritization of key features. The survey is open and will close by EOB on Monday, November 10, 2025 . It should take approximately five (5) minutes to complete. SURVEY CAN BE FOUND HERE: Employer/Industry Association Survey Once you’ve completed the survey, we encourage you to share the link with others who may also be interested in providing feedback.
