For a Better Society and a Better World

Prescott College was founded upon a single truth: taking care of the world and one another is the key to a beautiful future for all. For more than 60 years, our students, professors, staff, and alumni have forged a passionate community of changemakers, determined to face our evolving world head-on.

We work together to challenge the status quo, find innovative solutions to tomorrow’s problems, and make long-lasting impact in social justice and environmental sustainability. We do it in the breathtaking natural setting of Northern Arizona, a constant reminder of our collective purpose. We do it through creativity, empathy, and adventurous hands-on experiences that allow us to each grow while making a difference along the way.

If this sounds like you, grab your dreams and your goals, we’ve got work to do.
