East Carolina University College of Education

The College of Education at East Carolina University is the oldest College at the University. The original mission of ECU was a Teacher Training School.

The College has ten undergraduate programs, eight graduate programs, Doctoral program, and an Educational Specialist/Certificate of Advanced Study.

East Carolina Teachers Training School (ECTTS), a two-year teacher training school, was chartered in 1907 to meet the demand for teachers in the east. ECTTS began preparing teachers for the classroom two years later in 1909. Since that day, what began as a small teacher training school has developed into a large university offering numerous majors across many disciplines.

Today, East Carolina University prepares more professional educators for North Carolina schools than any other institution in the state. College of Education graduates have been recognized as Teachers of the Year at local, state, and national levels. The College is also preparing retiring military personnel to transition into the teaching profession through the Troops to Teachers Program with an advising office located at Fort Bragg.
