IN A CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITY

Our Campus

Prescott College, located in Prescott, Arizona, has many beautiful historic buildings that were repurposed for learning. We are proud to have two LEED-certified buildings on campus—The Crossroads Campus Center and The Village residence. Built from reclaimed timber and Corten steel, The Crossroads features solar panels and rooftop gardens and houses the Crossroads Cafe, classrooms, meeting facilities, the Fanon Center, the college library, and computer labs. The campus also features unique landscaping and gardens filled with native plants, flowers, trees, fruits, and vegetables and a natural amphitheater for outdoor concerts and other events.

Prescott College has earned a STARS Silver rating in recognition of its sustainability achievements from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). The College was also honored by the Arbor Day Foundation with the Tree Campus Higher Education recognition for its commitment to effective urban forest management. Additionally, Prescott College is a member of the Association for Experiential Education.

Our Location

Our main campus is in Prescott, Arizona, a beautiful historic town situated at a mile-high elevation with a mild, four-season climate. Prescott is surrounded by 400+ miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, with Prescott National Forest’s geological phenomenon Thumb Butte overlooking campus. Our campus is just a six block walk to restaurants, art galleries, live entertainment, and shopping. We are right in the heart of some of the most beautiful places in North America – the Grand Canyon, San Francisco Peaks (think snow), the Sonoran Desert, and the red rocks of Sedona are all within a two-hour drive. Phoenix is 90 minutes away, offering an urban setting and an international airport. As a student, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to study at our Tucson campus, which is less than four hours away.
