    • This is a great way for a Classified Staff member to obtain a teaching degree while working.
    • The purpose of Partnership East is to provide students with access to high quality degree-completion programs close to home. In turn, these community based candidates are more likely to return to their home communities to teach after graduation. 
    • Students graduate with a four-year degree from East Carolina University (ECU) by completing the first two years of the program at any North Carolina community college followed by taking ECU courses on-line. Students graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education, middle grades education, or special education. 
    • A university employee is housed at each one of the consortia hub sites. The role of these individuals is to recruit prospective students, facilitate successful transition to ECU, and advise current students
