East Carolina University

Join the Legacy

Since 1907, East Carolina University (ECU) has been at the forefront of educator preparation in North Carolina. As the top preparer of educators in North Carolina, we have served over nine million children in North Carolina schools and our alumni currently work in all of North Carolina’s one hundred counties.

To join our legacy of educator excellence, look no further than the ECU Teaching Fellows Program. ECU is dedicated to offering a teacher preparation experience that is academically rigorous and culturally enriching for our Teaching Fellows scholars. Traditional on-campus fellows will be immersed in the Education Living-Learning Community and our Education Community of Scholars, engaging in a variety of service, leadership, cultural, and team-building activities, including diverse experiential travel opportunities.

For scholars seeking a flexible option, our Partnership Teach community college transfer program allows for degree completion online while remaining rooted in their home communities. With over 1,100 graduates, this program fosters an engaging and supportive cohort-based community where future educators from across the state form lasting connections with their peers.Our preparation program is further enhanced by the extensive network of regional partnerships we have established. The Latham Clinical Schools Network, consisting of 43 districts, offers ECU teacher candidates access to a wide array of diverse communities and students for field experiences and internships during their undergraduate studies.
