With a student body of approximately 1,000, and an average student to faculty ratio of 8:1 in on-campus courses, Prescott College’s four distinct degree completion pathways are: the On-campus Undergraduate Program, and limited-residency undergraduate, Master of Arts, and Ph.D. programs. The College has been an economic engine in our community and Yavapai County for 50 years. For example, using a local contractor, we built and opened student housing that can accommodate 104 students, and we continue to improve and bring people to our campus. Of note: The impacts of our alumni who continue to work in the region and expand the economy through their added skills and increased productivity. We have 12,144 graduates and former students in our database with 4,596, or 38 percent, living and working in Arizona. Of that group, 1,036 or 8.5 percent are residents of Yavapai County.

It is the mission of Prescott College to educate students of diverse ages and backgrounds to understand, thrive in, and enhance our world community and environment. We regard learning as a continuing process and strive to provide an education that will enable students to live productive lives while achieving a balance between self-fulfillment and service to others. Students are encouraged to think critically and act ethically with sensitivity to both the human community and the biosphere. Our philosophy stresses experiential learning and self-direction within an interdisciplinary curriculum.
