I am an undergraduate student who has not declared a major but might be interested in education.

Don’t just have a favorite teacher. Be one.

Everyone remembers a special teacher who became a lifelong source of inspiration and motivation. If you’re thinking about being a teacher, we can help you take advantage of the opportunities waiting for you in classrooms across North Carolina.

Our online programs offer the courses you need to graduate with a degree in teaching and become licensed as a teacher . . . and we provide all the career guidance you’ll need along the way. You’ll study and learn on your own schedule and graduate with a bachelor’s degree from one of fifteen highly respected University of North Carolina schools of education.

Although course and program requirements vary from university to university, each program of study meets State Board of Education standards for approved teacher education programs.  For more information, contact the admissions officer at the school of education on your campus.  If your college does not offer a teacher education program, visit the College Foundation of North Carolina web site for general information on requirements for admissions (for example, minimum SAT scores and grade point averages) or click here for admission requirements for specific UNC schools of education. 

If you're employed by a North Carolina school, school system, university, communiity college, or state education agency, you may be eligible for extraordinary benefits, including tuition reimbursement, through the North Carolina Model Teacher Education Consortium.

If you really want to make a difference, be a teacher!
