The Prescott College Tucson Center opened in 1987 in Tucson, Arizona to serve adult learners. The Adult Degree Programs offered through the Center provide opportunity for Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degree completion and Postbaccalaureate Teacher Education. The programs in Tucson offer a unique approach to adult learning for students residing throughout Southern Arizona.
Students complete their education in a flexible and individualized manner in their home community.
Some Tucson area students participate in a site-based approach utilizing the facility in Tucson Center. Undergraduate students are pursuing B.A. degrees in a wide range of liberal arts areas including Counseling, Human Services, Psychology, Management, Environmental Studies, Sustainable Community Development and Education. Many other options are available due to the individualized nature of the Adult Degree Programs. Students are encouraged to incorporate service learning into their study plan activities. This year, the Tucson Center is partnering with Teach for America in Phoenix to provide emergency certified teachers with an alternative teacher certification program.
