From the President

At Prescott College, we believe students are capable of determining how best to organize and conduct their education. Most students who enter college know best how they learn. We encourage students to create educational experiences that maximize their unique learning styles. The faculty at Prescott College are highly skilled at assisting and guiding students on their educational journey.

We believe students can have a profound, positive impact on the world. At Prescott College, students are valuable and highly capable resources. They are encouraged to get involved in improving those issues concerning them. We ask students to examine their relationships with the environment and other people. Prescott College students gain an understanding of the world and an appreciation for how to effect positive change. They create and execute projects that have a direct positive impact on the world in which we live.

Prescott College maintains a strong commitment to the ideals of building and maintaining a community where everyone is respected and appreciated for his or her unique contributions. Prescott College is a rich broth of individuals who have come together to help form a community that is accepting and supportive. We have a relatively small student body, and encourage people to get to know each other.

There are no numbers at Prescott College; we all have names, interests, capabilities, and challenges. For the past 35 years, those of us lucky enough to be connected to Prescott College have maintained our focus on providing superior education in a unique and responsive academic environment. Students at Prescott College acquire the knowledge to understand their world and the skills necessary to help maintain and improve it.

Warmest Regards,
Daniel E. Garvey, Ph.D.
President
