At Prescott College, we believe that education is a journey, not a destination. To assist students with their journey, Prescott College offers a diverse number of projects and programs for students that combine academics, experiential challenges, hard work and fun:
Alligator Juniper: An annual publication featuring poetry, fiction, nonfiction and photography.
Arizona Wilderness Coalition: Sponsored two full time graduate fellowships at Prescott College in an effort to help further their mission of restoring and protecting wilderness, other wildlands and waters in Arizona.
Art Gallery: The Prescott College Visual Arts Center houses the Prescott College Art Gallery at Sam Hill Warehouse, the Artist-in-Residence program and visual arts studios.
K-12 Educational Partnerships: Experience teaches best. The Education Program enlivens this principle through "early and often" immersion in partnership schools. Prescott College students who have an interest in Teacher Certification, Environmental Education, or Social Justice Education gain invaluable experience working directly with K-12 students in well-designed and coordinated field experiences.
Centaur Leadership Services (CLS): Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) and Equine Assisted Mental Health (EAMH) programs for community youth, undergraduates studying leadership, education, and human development, and graduate students pursuing a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology with a focus in EAMH.
Community Supported Agriculture: A project that supports local farmers by selling “shares” of produce to college and community members. New students are welcome to join the CSA and receive fresh produce weekly throughout the year or by season.
Center for Lifelong Learning (LLC): non-credit educational travel local and around the world, classes and programs which reflect the values and mission of the College.
Crossroads Center: A 22,000 square foot building houses a new information commons (an integration of library with technological and social functions), classrooms, meeting spaces, a ‘green’ roof garden and a new campus café. In addition to providing much needed classroom and study, the Crossroads Center serves as the central gathering point for Prescott College’s learning community.
Expressive Art Therapy: The Prescott College Expressive Art Therapy Summer Institute brings masters in the fields of Expressive Art, Music, Dance Movement and Art Therapy together with students for an unparalleled, intensive learning experience.
EcoLeague: a consortium of five colleges and universities that share similar missions and value systems based on environmental responsibility, social change and educating students to build a sustainable future.
Jenner Farm: An experimental agroecology farm dedicated to education, demonstration and research.
Kino Bay Center, Mexico: A field station on the shores of the Gulf of California that provides quality educational opportunities, supports research and education and dialogue with local communities.
Raven Review: An independent newspaper managed by students, covering issues of interest to the Prescott community and readers throughout the Southwest.
Sam Henrie's book "Uncommon Education": In this compelling work, Samuel Henrie and others reveal what led to the inception of this special institution, the philosophy behind it, and a rare curriculum that includes adventure education, social and ecological justice fieldwork, and other hands-on and unique educational opportunities.
Southwest Writers Series:The Southwest Writers Series, Prescott's 20+ year literary series, is now solely supported and directed by Prescott College and will continue to provide high-quality reading events during the fall and spring semester under the direction of Susan Lang.
Student Clubs and Organizations: ongoing projects and clubs varying from various independent studies and senior projects to micro-businesses.
Sustainability Exploration and Education Development (SEED)
Transitions: The Prescott College magazine for alumni, parents, students and friends.
