University of North Carolina at Greensboro

At UNCG we give top priority to student learning and success.
Great teachers, early and frequent exposure to the classroom, individual attention, and opportunities such as affordable study abroad make the Teaching Fellows experience at UNCG exceptionally rich and rewarding.

UNCG is known for faculty who are committed to teaching.
Teaching Fellows at UNCG learn from faculty who are second to none. Heads of departments and professors whose books and research and creative endeavors enjoy international recognition regularly teach freshmen and sophomores. These same professors serve as faculty mentors to Fellows. Teaching Fellows are exposed to some of the very best instruction a student can receive.

UNCG is the perfect size.
It's large enough to offer the variety of a major university and small enough to care about students as individuals. Students can choose from 31 different teacher licensure programs including birth-kindergarten; elementary, middle grades, secondary, and the specialty areas; select from a wide array of extracurricular opportunities; study in one of the best university libraries in the state; use state-of-the-art technology to pursue academic interests; and meet people from around the world either on campus or by studying abroad. Teaching Fellows can swap places through the UNCG Exchange Program with college students in Australia, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Mexico, Spain, or the United Kingdom. As a Teaching Fellow, the student has access to special travel money which may be used to help defray the expenses of travel abroad.

UNCG is a university that embraces the individual.
Teaching Fellows are encouraged to pursue their own paths in the context of a supportive community of learners. Freshman Teaching Fellows have several special activities designed to acquaint them with the University and the Teaching Fellows program. These activities include: a retreat weekend early in the first semester; a big brother/big sister program where freshmen are linked with upper-class Teaching Fellows; special classes for Teaching Fellows which fulfill university requirements; and much, much more.

UNCG is an exceptional educational value in a beautiful place.
Conveniently located to virtually everything the city offers, UNCG's lovely campus prompts students to say "it just felt right the first time I visited". Stately Georgian-style buildings are set throughout the park-like campus, and brick walks wind through a spectacular display of trees and flowers. All of this is on a campus where the student/faculty ratio is 17 to 1, classes are small enough that faculty can strike a balance between support and challenge, no student building is more than a seven minute walk away, and people know your name. UNCG students are receiving one of the best educational experiences anywhere in the world at one of the lowest costs.

(While Teaching Fellows at UNCG may select from a wide range of programs, please note that some departments may require higher than a 2.5 GPA to be admitted to Teacher Education.) *Please note that UNCG no longer offers teacher licensure in vocational business and marketing education.
