The Bachelor of Arts Degree and Post-Bachelor of Arts Certificate programs are intended for returning adult students who are seeking to advance their undergraduate and professional experience, change careers, or engage in advanced academic work for personal or professional gain. Each student pursues an independent study based curriculum in collaboration with Prescott College faculty. The coursework is completed in the student's home community through the assistance of locally based, qualified mentors.
This flexible structure allows the students to maintain their family and work life while they study at a distance. Bachelor of Arts students typically bring in one to three years of transferable credit from accredited colleges. The amount of transferable credits and an estimated time to complete the degree may be established through a pre-admissions transcript review and preliminary advising session with an admissions counselor. The estimate time to complete a post-bachelor's certificate in education is three to four semesters.

The Prescott College Adult Degree Program (ADP) is designed so students can live normal lives and earn their degree at the same time. This means that students don't have to interrupt their lives in order to complete their degree.
At Prescott College, knowledge acquired outside the classroom can be translated into college credit. A prior learning advisor assists students with this process after enrollment. Prescott College recognizes that college-level learning occurs in many different ways outside of the classroom, including work experience, independent reading, and study.
Note: The life experience documentation processes have credit award limits. In general, a conversion portfolio or life experience portfolio course cannot earn more than 8 semester credits. A student cannot earn more than 25 total semester credits for a conversion portfolio. Overall a student cannot earn more than 60 semester credits for all three processes.
Although students complete their courses in their home communities, they are required to be in Arizona once during their entire program of study for Orientation at Prescott College.
