Education, Environmental Studies, Humanities, and Adventure Education.

Students can study and maintain their lives
The Prescott College
master’s
program is set up so students can live a normal life and earn their
degree at the same time. This means that students can continue
working full-time
jobs and earn full-time wages while studying. The majority of our
students continue to hold jobs and have family responsibilities
while they pursue
their graduate education. Students communicate with faculty via
telephone, email, postal mail, and periodically in person.
Self-designed, student-centered, flexible programs
The Master of Arts Program
(MAP) centers on self-directed independent study. MAP provides students
with a great deal of flexibility in designing their own studies in the areas
of
Counseling and Psychology, Education, Environmental Studies, Humanities,
and Adventure Education. Students can design highly individualized
programs, while extending beyond the confines of traditionally departmentalized
graduate
study.
Upon enrollment, students are matched with a graduate advisor based upon
their field of interest. Students develop close working relationships with
their graduate advisors and also receive support from Prescott College core
faculty throughout the program.
Prescott College Educational Philosophy
At Prescott College we expect students
to be actively involved in, and responsible for, their own educational
path. They design their programs of study to best fulfill their needs, interests,
and career goals. We realize that students have different backgrounds
and
experiences, and we strive to support students in creating an individualized
program of study to best fit their needs.
Limited Residency Requirements
The Master of Arts Program is a limited-residence
graduate program designed for creative working adults. All graduate
students must attend two three-day colloquia per term (approximately every
three months).

On-going Support
In addition to the support they receive from faculty,
students may get together with their fellow students during the periodic
colloquia or during site-based meetings. Our students do not experience the same isolation as in other
distance
programs because they develop strong relationships with faculty and
students throughout their program.
