Definition

  • The University Consortium for Catholic Education (UCCE) is an alliance of institutions of higher education that has implemented graduate-level teaching service programs to serve the Catholic and private schools in the United States. Beginning with the University of Notre Dame in 1993, the UCCE now includes 15 universities that have committed to training teachers with a distinct educational philosophy, expressed in three pillars: academic preparation, community, and spirituality.
