A Unique College in the Arizona Mountains

Prescott College. You've never heard of it, right?

If you're considering schools like Arizona State or Northern Arizona, you may not even want to take a look at Prescott, because it probably isn't your kind of place. But, if you're looking for a college unlike most others, stay tuned.

What are the Prescott differences? Degree programs in areas such as ecopsychology, environmental education and interpretation, agroecology, and outdoor adventure education is one big difference (although more traditional majors are also available). Another is the availability of residency and short residency programs (at the undergraduate and graduate level).

Prescott's commitment to ecological literacy also sets it apart, as does it's location in the Arizona mountains, surrounded by a national forest, a setting perfect for its mission.

More differences? How many colleges can you think of with as many field based classes, or average class sizes of 10 students?

And, perhaps Prescott's most important feature is its block and quarter calendar, which allows students to do fieldwork in the Grand Canyon, the Sea of Cortez, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and throughout the world.

If developing your critical thinking skills is important to you, if you like the idea of hands on, collaborative education, and if you value social and environmental consciousness, you might want to learn more about Prescott.
