University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill


The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has been part of the state-wide Teaching Fellows program since 1988. As one of 17 participants in the program administered by the Teaching Fellows Commission, we admit 45 new Teaching Fellows each year.

Our goal is to provide a program that creates a supportive environment which will engage, stimulate, and inspire prospective public school teacher in North Carolina. We hope to instill a sense of mission, service, and professionalism in future teachers. We aim to build an understanding of education’s place in a broader social and economic context. We actively seek to promote diversity by recruiting a larger number of minority and male students.
