What changed in 2024
ECPI University was unchanged from 1 to 1 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 VA 4-year peers in this comparison, ECPI University is larger than 94% and safer-reporting than 89% - the larger, safer-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

What actually gets reported at ECPI University
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Motor Vehicle Theft.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Fondling. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where ECPI University sits on price and outcomes
At $22,965, ECPI University's reported average net price is cheaper than 65% among 107 Virginia colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,096.
- $22,965
- average net price
- $19,096
- Virginia median
- 2.1×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $6,894
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $21,807 for families reporting under $30,000 against $28,701 above $110,000, a difference of $6,894. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $22,965 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six-year median earnings of $41,278 run about 1.8 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
