University Consortium for Catholic Education (UCCE)
Loyola Marymount University’s PLACE Corps is in partnership with both the Los Angeles Archdiocese and the University of Notre Dame. In addition to LMU, there are over a dozen universities across the country with similar programs, unique in their own way, but sharing in the basic pillars of professional development, spirituality, and community. These programs became affiliated and formed the University Consortium for Catholic Education (UCCE).
Loyola Marymount University’s PLACE Corps Program is a member of the UCCE. This consortium seeks to establish and support a growing cadre of colleges and universities as they design and implement graduate teaching service programs. If the PLACE Corps does not meet one’s specific needs or interests, the potential applicant may wish to consider applying for one of the other UCCE member programs.
