The [[North Carolina General Assembly]] founded ECU on [[March 8]], [[1907]] as a teacher training school and selected Greenville as its seat on [[July 2]], [[1908]] with the first classes beginning in 1909. While East Carolina has historical strengths in [[education]], [[nursing]], [[business]], [[music]], [[theater]], and [[medicine]], it offers over 100 [[Bachelor degree]] areas of study including [[mathematics]], [[Hospitality management studies|hospitality management]], [[engineering]], [[construction management]], [[computer science]], [[exercise physiology]], [[political science]], and [[social work]].<ref>{{cite web| title = Overview| work = East Carolina University | publisher = University of North Carolina| date = 2007| url = http://www.unconline.net/site.php?id=2923| accessdate = 2007-06-11}}</ref>
