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 18 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.

Note: A 2.5 grade point average is the minimum needed for consideration for enrollment in the School of Education, but a 2.5 g.p.a. does not guarantee admission. In addition, Fellows seeking preparation for secondary education, K-12 music, and foreign language teaching must complete the MAT, i.e. a fifth year program at UNC Chapel Hill. A minimum GPA of 3.0 and competitive GRE scores are required to be admitted into the UNC Chapel Hill fifth year program. Graduates of the MAT program are licensed at the M-level, which currently entitles them to a 10% increase in salary.
