< CollapsePrescott College
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaPrescott College is a private liberal arts college in Prescott, Arizona, founded in 1966. It is a non-profit organization which has an undergraduate body of roughly 750 students, an endowment of US$650,000, and an average class size of twelve. There are three general programs at Prescott College: the "Adult Degree Program" (ADP), "Resident Degree Program" (RDP), and "Masters of Arts Program" (MAP). Those enrolled in the ADP program work with various mentors and Prescott College faculty, usually in their home communities. RDP students live in Prescott and attend classes at the college itself. The MAP program is basically a graduate program based on limited residency. Since its opening in 1966, more than 9,000 students have attended the college.
Student Life
Limited student housing is available on campus. Most students reside in nearby apartments, condos, and houses. Housing is widely available in the town, and the college provides assistance with locating housing for students. There are a great deal of eco-minded businesses in the Prescott area which are patronized by the student body. As for activities, there are numerous clubs and organizations that meet every night of the week.
== Resident Degree Program ==
RDP students begin with a three-week adventure into Arizona's wilderness, known as wilderness orientation. In their first week, students are introduced to the college and gather supplies before being sent out in groups of 7-14 people, depending on the size of the incoming class. The average distance covered varies from 50-100 miles.
RDP Degree Plan
Students usually design a degree plan by the beginning of their junior year. Unlike most other schools that have degree programs set with specific classes and little room for deviation, at Prescott College students fulfill basic requirements (such as math and writing) and then design their Competence (like a major) and Breadth (like a minor). The degree plan is submitted to the student's Individual Graduation Committee (IGC) for review. The IGC consists of at least one faculty member, and another faculty member and a student if desired. The committee will then edit and suggest classes that are needed to enhance and complete the Competence and Breadth.
