Education
A history of excellence, a heritage of leadership.
Long known for the quality of our educational institutions, North Carolina is proud to be home to so many schools that have shaped our country and our culture for generations. As home to the first two towns in North Carolina, Eastern North Carolina has a strong commitment to, and the longest standing history of, education for our citizens. Many private colleges, community colleges, and universities in the Eastern Region continue to set the example for innovation and access in advanced education.
Our universities are fueled by some of the brightest students in the country. Area schools are filled with star performers and have the accompanying Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs to facilitate a world class education for you and your family, no matter the age or ability.
