Prescott College is an independent, liberal
arts college offering bachelor's and master's degrees, as well as
teacher certification. Our educational programs reflect the College's
commitment to the environment and social justice.
Prescott College offers
three programs for students of all ages and backgrounds. Students
can live and study for an undergraduate degree in Prescott (Resident
Degree Program), complete their undergraduate degree through
our degree completion program (Adult
Degree Program), or earn their master's degree through our limited
residency graduate program (Master
of Arts Program). Students can also pursue a Teaching
Certificate through any program. Whatever program is right for
you, you will find that Prescott College is a supportive and flexible
environment where students are empowered to design their own education.
Students succeed at Prescott
College for many reasons:
- Learning is self-directed and self-designed for every student
- Class size is extremely small and teaching is very personal
with a high level of interaction between students and faculty
- A Prescott College education emphasizes experiential learning
("learning-by-doing") and self-directed study
- Prescott College is committed to the environment and ecological
literacy, rather than passive classroom learning
- Students can earn a bachelor's or master's degree from a distance
- Faculty are highly qualified and committed to working with and
supporting students
Prescott College offers
all students a diverse curriculum designed to encourage pursuit
of interests across disciplinary lines. At Prescott College, "learning
by doing" is as important as reading and discussing. The curriculum
is flexible to meet the needs of every student.
Our Resident
Degree Program is enhanced by a strong learning community that
allows for connections and personal relationships with faculty and
mentors. Many courses involve a strong field component. Internships,
independent studies, apprenticeships, and study abroad are strongly
encouraged.
Students studying through
one of our limited residency programs (the B.A.
Degree Completion Program or Master
of Arts Program) will find that their home communities are ideal
classrooms. Students study with community advisors and mentors,
supported by faculty in Prescott. Distance students maintain professional
and personal lives and do not need to relocate to Prescott while
earning their degree.
In addition to the main campus in Prescott,
the College operates a branch campus in Tucson. The Tucson
Center serves students residing in Tucson and other southern
Arizona communities. The Center is a meeting place for students,
faculty, and advisors and provides opportunities for students in
similar study areas to meet and discuss their work.
