CPCC - ECU Partnership

Through a partnership with the College of Education at East Carolina University, Central Piedmont Community College students may transfer their general education courses to ECU and pursue a baccalaureate degree (on-line) that leads to initial licensure in Elementary Education K-6, Special Education/General Curriculum or Middle Grades Education. Candidates may choose two of the following middle grades concentrations: Language Arts, Science or Math.

The Wachovia Partnership East Virtual Program is intended to help meet the need for teachers by “growing teachers close to home.”
