Teaching Support and Resources

Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence

The Eberly Center provides seminars and individual consultations to help graduate students who wish to improve their teaching or prepare for future careers as faculty members. For students who may wish to pursue academic careers at four-year colleges or many public universities, this is an invaluable opportunity.

Intercultural Communication Center

The Intercultural Communication Center's (ICC) language training and testing for non-native speakers of English at Carnegie Mellon is designed to help students achieve the robust English fluency needed for teaching in the American classroom and giving professional-quality presentations. Students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this resource even after passing the ITA test at the level required by the department in order to make their English fluency an asset in teaching, research communications, and their future careers.
