Study

• PACT offers an integrated program of study and supervised field experience which introduces students to the profession of education and enables them to develop as highly competent educators.
• PACT programs of study are based on current educational research and practice and draw their inspiration from the traditions of Catholic education.
• PACT programs of teacher education lead to a Providence College Master of Education degree.
• PACT offers a range of teacher education programs which have been approved by the State of Rhode Island Department of Education. Dependent upon the program, graduates from these programs are eligible for initial certification as secondary teachers, or if already certified as a teacher, for an additional certification in special education, literacy, school administration or school counseling.
• Graduates with certification as secondary teachers and with a major in history or mathematics may study for a Master of Arts degree in history or mathematics.
• Courses are completed mainly by intensive study during the two summers of the PACT program and in some programs, during each of the four semesters in the two year program.
