The PACT Program - established at Providence College in 2001 as an affiliate program with the University of Notre Dame and several other U.S. Catholic colleges and universities - is a unique teacher education program that invites recent graduates to contribute two years of service to young people as teachers in Catholic schools in New England.

PACT members teach classes in language arts, English literature, British and American literature, history, science, mathematics, Spanish, religious studies, and other subject areas.  They are also coaches to sports teams, advisors, and leaders of school retreats.

Liberal Arts graduates with a major (30 credit points) in English, foreign languages, history, math, or science study towards a Providence College Master of Education degree and teacher certification as a secondary teacher, in a program approved by the State of Rhode Island, which is reciprocal with 40 other States in the USA.

Education graduates -who already have teacher certification - follow a master of education program in special needs or literacy and teach in elementary, middle, or high school special needs classes or literacy programs.
