Using Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) slitless grism spectra from the PEARS program, we study the stellar populations of morphologically selected early-type galaxies in the GOODS North and South fields. The sample - extracted from a visual classification of the (v2.0) HST/ACS images and restricted to redshifts z>0.4 - comprises 228 galaxies (i_F775W_<24mag, AB) out to z<~1.3 over 320arcmin^2^, with a median redshift z_M_=0.75. This work significantly increases our previous sample from the GRAPES survey in the HUDF (18 galaxies over ~11arcmin^2^). The grism data allow us to separate the sample into "red" and "blue" spectra, with the latter comprising 15% of the total. Three different grids of models parameterizing the star formation history are used to fit the low-resolution spectra.
