AIG Add-On Licensure

As North Carolina's Department of Public Instruction changes a state policy for gifted education, East Carolina University uses distance education to lead the way in helping teachers obtain licensure to teach gifted children in North Carolina. In response to this new state policy, the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at East Carolina University created a four course sequence available for students choosing to earn the AIG licensure as a strand in their MAEd program in Elementary Education or by enrolling in the courses as non-degree students.
