Prescott College’s academic programs are “unplugged” from such conventional practices as the departmentalization of knowledge, confining learning to the classroom and textbooks rather than real experience and thinking of college as preparation for life, rather than life itself. Prescott students learn critical thinking and research and how to apply them to real-life problems and their own passions by living them, testing them out in real time.
At Prescott College the best learning is collaborative, and the best teaching is individual. Education at Prescott College is grounded in the fundamental idea that the student is in control of her or his learning, and learns best through self-direction and real-life experience. Programs of study at all levels are individualized; no two paths taken by students are identical.
The Resident Degree Program
The Resident Degree Program is designed for students to live and
study in Prescott. At Prescott College every student works
in collaboration with faculty to individualize and self-direct his
or her studies. We offer small classes where faculty truly care
about students and are available outside of the classroom. In
fact, most of our education takes place outside of the classroom
because Prescott College is heavily field and experientially based. Read More...
