Prescott College is ideally located in a beautiful, mountainous Arizona town surrounded by national forest at an elevation of more than 5,200 feet. We believe that doing is as important as reading and discussing. In cooperation with an outstanding faculty, Prescott College students are able to work in such interdisciplinary fields as human development, ecopsychology, abstract art, environmental education and interpretation, teacher education, human ecology, agroecology, creative writing, outdoor adventure education, management, counseling, and wilderness leadership. Our faculty recognize that some of the most important lessons are learned in situations that require action. As such, many courses have strong field components and some are conducted entirely in the field.
