Learning EXPERIENTIAL AND FIELD-BASED

As a Prescott College student, you’ll have the ability to choose how much time you spend in the field as you construct your schedule with the help of your advisor. Field time ranges from weekend outings during a mostly campus based course; courses that have field days every week like Maps and Wilderness Navigation that use one of their two days per week to be in the field all day; to classes like Rock Climbing that only meet in the field (two full days per week) but sleep at home each night. You’ll also have the opportunity to take full-field semesters where you’ll spend from 7 to 11 weeks in the field during the semester.

Many of our block classes spend the majority of three and a half weeks in the field; Art and Science of Food Preservation, Marine Conservation, Wilderness and Colonization, Environmental Perspectives in Whitewater Rafting, and NakedEye Astronomy.

Consortium Partners

Prescott College students can spend a semester at one of more than fifteen partner schools from around North America through either the EcoLeague or the Consortium for Innovative Environments in Learning. Deepen your studies in a different bioregion, or broaden your degree with coursework not commonly offered at Prescott College. Partner campuses can be found from Canada to Florida and from Maine to Alaska.
