Student Guides
“I am beyond proud to be a student at Prescott College. I love the opportunity to choose classes that are experiential and immersed in the field. I chose my degree because I wanted to combine my love for recreating in the outdoors and sharing knowledge about the natural world. The professors at Prescott College have made me feel heard and seen, they are passionate people that share their love for the natural world with each student. Prescott College helped respark my love for learning and has taught me all the skills I need to be a lifelong learner.”
