Prescott College Announces On-campus Undergraduate Tuition Reset

Prescott College has announced that they are resetting their tuition. Beginning in Fall 2026, the new flat-rate tuition will be $15,000 per year for on-campus undergraduate students.

This tuition reset is intended to provide more details upfront regarding the true cost of a Prescott College on-campus undergraduate education. Recognizing that families may be intimidated by the published tuition price, they may rule out a private college education and miss out on all the benefits that such an education provides. Prescott College has lowered their on-campus undergraduate tuition to $15,000 per year to align their values of inclusivity, justice, and sustainability with the cost of their education.

According to Michele Peterson, Prescott College Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Finance, “Pricing in higher education is complicated. Students don’t often know what their tuition bill will actually be by looking at published prices. Our goal with this tuition reset is to be up-front with families and to help them understand the true cost of our education. Prescott College is offering a world-class education at a much more affordable price.”

Prescott College believes this tuition reset will encourage families to take advantage of their immersive, experiential and life-changing education. This reset reflects a bold step toward a future where more students can think critically, unite across differences, and uplift communities–without the weight of crushing debt.
