PACE Program Accepting Applications for 21st Cohort

January 5, 2018

The Pacific Alliance for Catholic Education (PACE), administered by the School of Education, is accepting applications for its 21^st cohort. PACE is a post-graduate teacher education program where candidates earn tuition-free graduate degrees in education while they serve as teachers in Catholic schools. Over the course of three summers and two academic years, PACE teachers strengthen Catholic education while developing and refining the skills of successful educators. The PACE program focuses on whole-person formation, with attention to personal, communal, and professional formation, informed by the charisms of Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C., and the Congregation of Holy Cross.

PACE is seeking faith-filled applicants (Catholic and non-Catholic) from all academic majors. Education majors will pursue the M.Ed. in the graduate program, and non-education majors will pursue the M.A.T. Faculty and staff member who know students who would be a great fit for the PACE program are asked to please point them in our direction. Application deadline is January 23, 2018.
