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. All traditional, on-campus freshmen are required to live in our common Education Community of Scholars residence hall and will be assigned a room with another student in our program. Roommate requests are encouraged; however, you may only request a roommate who is also a member of the Education Community of Scholars, Education Living-Learning Community, or a NC Teaching Fellow.
