The Providence Alliance for Catholic Teachers (PACT) is a two-year service-teaching program designed to prepare teachers and leaders for Catholic schools. Members of the program teach full-time at a New England diocesan elementary, middle, or high school while studying for a master of education degree.

This program is a member of the University Consortium for Catholic Education (UCCE) with 15 other similar programs in Catholic colleges and universities in the United States. These programs are based on the Alliance for Catholic Education programs at the University of Notre Dame.

Liberal arts and science majors pursue a master’s degree in education leading to initial certification in secondary education in a specific subject area. Education majors with teacher certification upon entry into the PACT program pursue a master’s degree in another PC graduate program, as approved by the program director.

Members of the program live in intentional, faith-based communities in residences provided by the program.
