Prescott College is a private college in Prescott, Arizona, United States.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 36% graduation rate is a real red flag, meaning most students who start don't finish, and median earnings of $34,300 a decade out are modest for the debt taken on — even if the $12,500 median debt is relatively low. Worth considering only if you're deeply drawn to Prescott's self-directed, experiential learning model and have a concrete plan to stay enrolled, because the open admissions and small 253-student community can be a fit for the right unconventional learner, but the outcomes data suggests many students find it isn't.
