East Carolina University was founded by the State of North Carolina
in 1907 as a teacher training school meant to provide
professionally trained faculty for schools in the eastern part of
the state. Within two decades, the school matured into a teacher's
college. Although coeducational from the start, the vast majority
of the student body early on was female. Following World War II and
the gender transformation of higher education resulting from
successive GI Bills, East Carolina emerged with increasing balance
as the male student body grew to match the female population on
campus. In subsequent decades, East Carolina continued to expand
academically, emerging as a research university with a medical
school and a dental school. Today, ECU is a leading producer of
K-12 teachers in the Southeast as well as a leader nationwide in
training practitioners of family medicine. The impressive
development of East Carolina has flowed from its embodiment of the
school's ethic of service to the local community and, in the
broadest context, the best interests of humanity.
