The Resident Degree Program at Prescott College
The Resident Degree Program is designed for students to live and study in Prescott. At Prescott College every student works in collaboration with faculty to individualize and self-direct his or her studies. We offer small classes where faculty truly care about students and are available outside of the classroom. In fact, most of our education takes place outside of the classroom because Prescott College is heavily field and experientially based. Read More...
As part of the Resident Degree Program, Prescott College and Centaur Leadership Services come together to offer a degree in Human Development with an emphasis in Equine Assisted Mental Health, as well as Equine Assisted Learning support for other course areas. See the new Centaur Leadership RDP Brochure!
