Pre-Teaching Advising

We Support Students Considering a Career in K-12 Education
Pre-Teaching Advising supports undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs, and alumni considering a career in K-12 education. We can connect you with career exploration opportunities, provide job search assistance, and support you in applying for graduate programs related to education.
Pre-Teaching Advising is part of the Specialized Advising unit within Georgia Tech’s Office of Undergraduate Education & Student Success as well as part of the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) within the Office of the Provost.
NOTE: Georgia Tech Pre-Teaching is not a certification program nor a Georgia educator preparation program provider.
Meet with an advisor!
Format: virtual (Mon-Fri) as well as in-person (Tu, Wed, Fri)
Length: 30 or 60 minutes depending on your appointment reason
Note: Pre-Teaching advisors are not academic advisors and cannot assist with schedules, permits, etc.
Graduate students and alumni can schedule appointments by emailing Dr. Susan Belmonte at sbelmonte@gatech.edu.
Undergraduates make appointments through Georgia Tech’s new advising and student success system as of June 2025 called Navigate360. Download the Navigate360 student app or access the webpage here.
Undergraduates can make appointments with any academic advisor using Navigate360.
