There is indeed a theory of Galois extension of rings. See, for example, the very nice paper [Chase, S. U.; Harrison, D. K.; Rosenberg, Alex. Galois theory and Galois cohomology of commutative rings. Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. No. 52 1965 15--33. MR0195922 (33 #4118)] The theory developed there does include a Galois correspondence.

There is even a Hopf-Galois theory, where the Galois group is replaced by a Hopf algebra (co)acting on the big ring, for extra fun---corresponence, fun---the correspondence in this case, though, is quite more complicateddelicate/complicated.
