Program Highlights:
NCCU offers teacher candidates a diverse experience for all participants. Courses through NC TEACH are offered via a combination of online and face to face. The summer courses are offered at a local middle school and teacher candidates work closely with highly qualified public school personnel. The cohort experience of NC TEACH at NCCU is one that offers support from various levels (peer support, faculty support and NC TEACH program support).

The mission of the School of Education is to prepare teacher candidates academically and professionally to socially advance the general welfare of the people of North Carolina. The School of Education's conceptual framework, "Preparing Educators for Diverse Cultural Contexts," under girds the school's curriculum and represents the faculty's commitment to preparing teachers to teach children and youth from all racial, cultural, socio-economic, and religious backgrounds. 

The mission of the university is to prepare students academically and professionally to become leaders prepared to advance the consciousness of social responsibility in a diverse, global society. The university will serve its traditional clientele of African American students; it will also expand its commitment to meet the educational needs of a student body that is diverse in race and other socioeconomic attributes.  North Carolina Central University is situated in Durham, in North Carolina's eastern Piedmont to the northeast of the state's geographical center.
