ECU is classified as a Doctoral/Research-Intensive University and enrolls around 28,000 students, with over 5,500 pursuing graduate and professional degrees. ECU is in Greenville, NC (pop. 95,000 with a metropolitan population of over 170,000), which lies 90 miles east of Raleigh and 80 miles from the Atlantic coast. A thriving small city and regional center for education, health, and the arts, Greenville is a great place to live, work, play, and visit. It has a cost of living more than 10 percent below the national average and boasts a vibrant Uptown district with restaurants, breweries, and shopping. Greenville hosts a variety of festivals throughout the year and offers numerous recreational opportunities, including access to the Tar River, over nine miles of greenways, nearly 30 parks and recreational facilities, and a growing arts scene. The Department of Psychology (http://psychology.ecu.edu) has 30 full-time faculty members, over 800 undergraduate majors, and a master’s program with several concentrations as well as a Specialist-level program in School Psychology. The Department also has a doctoral program in Health Psychology with three separate concentrations – Clinical Health Psychology, Pediatric School Psychology, and Occupational Health Psychology. Both the Clinical Health Psychology and Pediatric School Psychology concentrations are accredited by the American Psychological Association. The Health Psychology program is a current and past recipient of a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Graduate Psychology Education training grant. The Department is also experiencing an unprecedented level of investment from the State of North Carolina in its clinical health psychology and pediatric school psychology doctoral programs and psychology clinic associated with these programs (https://psychology.ecu.edu/pass/). Faculty routinely collaborate with colleagues throughout the schools and colleges of ECU and have established strong connections with ECU’s School of Dental Medicine, College of Education, and various departments in Brody School of Medicine, including Pediatrics, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, and Cardiology.
