About
Do you have dreams of empowering generations of high school English students? Would you like to join an active group of students who care about literature and writing?
Our students graduate with two degrees: a Bachelor of Science in English education and a Bachelor of Arts in English. They begin their school experiences in the sophomore year, allowing them significant time in a variety of high school classrooms before they begin a full-time internship in the second half of the senior year. Our focus on technology allows us to produce teachers with 21st-century skills to meet the needs of the modern ninth- to 12th-grade student.
As a result, the English education major at ECU attracts people who want to focus their cognitive, social and emotional gifts on helping students successfully understand themselves and others through trans-literacy: reading, writing, speaking, listening, and working with multiple tools and technological platforms.
Institutional and Professional Licensure Disclosures for Enrolled and Prospective Students
ECU degree programs satisfy the professional licensure and/or certification requirements in North Carolina and prepare students to sit for these exams. However, requirements in other states may be different.
If you are considering a degree program that may, would, could or potentially lead to a professional license and/or certification, please note that at this time ECU may or may not be able to advise whether a program meets requirements outside of North Carolina. Prior to enrolling in a degree program, please discuss this important topic with your program of interest.
ECU Advantage
Among the most exciting aspects of the English education program at ECU are the students who populate it. Hailing from nearby rural towns and different states, our graduates find jobs all over the world: Turkey, South Korea, England, different regions of the United States, and right here in the coastal plains of North Carolina.
During their time at ECU, students and faculty publish professional articles in journals, volunteer in schools, give presentations at national conferences, study abroad, post Ignite presentations to YouTube and teleconference with researchers. Your professors and your classmates will ensure that you live up to your highest aspirations. We'd like you to join us!
