Was there something about the ECU Pirate Planning program that you especially liked? The small class sizes, and personal relationships built with the planning faculty, truly made the program feel like a second family. The diversity among my peers and professors alike created classrooms with a very real world feel, and these experiences properly prepared me for planning in a diverse municipality.

Please share your experience with the ECU Pirate Planning program. Enrolling in the ECU Community Planning Program was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The course work provides students with an understanding of the fundamentals of planning, while also diving into current trends and issues in the planning world. I have nothing but great things to say about the Pirate Planning Program, and I would recommend the program to anyone with an interest in local government, transportation, environmental justice, history, law, etc… My experience with the program couldn’t have been any better, and I would go back and do it again if I could!
