On-Campus Undergraduate students may also earn the Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees (BFA) through the Arts & Letters area of study in Creative Writing, Visual Arts, and Interdisciplinary Arts & Letters.
Prescott College’s On-Campus Undergraduate Programs are designed for students with excellent potential who want the opportunity to deepen their knowledge, skills, or experience and develop their talents for (1) personal enrichment, (2) preparation for graduate school, and/or (3) preparation for a professional career.

202According to collegeboard.com 81% are out of state- 566Hi Maggie and Travis. Sorry we missed your post! At Prescott College, Adventure Education is defined as an experiential process that takes place in challenging outdoor settings where the primary purpose is to build and strengthen inter- and intra-personal relationships, personal health, leadership skills, and environmental understandings. The field of adventure education holds tremendous promise for contributing to our society and environment in healthy and significant ways. The possibilities for social and environmental change are as numerous and as varied as the number of students pursuing an Adventure Education degree. Check out more information at: http://www.prescott.edu/learn/on-campus-undergraduate/areas-of-study/adventure-education/index.html.
- 566Travis is correct. :) Most students are from out of state.

- 566Hi Katrina, Thanks for asking! To evaluate mastery of the course material, Prescott College uses a system of performance- based evaluations, consisting of student self-evaluations combined with narrative faculty evaluations. Instead of distilling student progress into a single letter grade, the 150-word narrative evaluations allow faculty to articulate the learning process, and the results, in detail. Basically, think about your transcript being a resume of your learning. Students can (and many do) also elect to receive a grade in addition to the evaluations. For students who request grades for at least 90 percent of coursework, the College can calculate a grade point average. Years after graduating you will be able to see exactly what you learned and did in a class as opposed to just a letter grade often given by other colleges and universities. These evaluations also help in showing employers exactly what you have done and learned. Does that help? Let me know if I should clarify more or if you have other questions! Thanks again! Andrea (Prescott College Admissions Counselor)
