  • Sustainability

    It’s no surprise that Arizona’s Prescott College “for The Liberal Arts and Environment” is a green school—just look at its surroundings. With over 1 million acres of national forest, 796 miles of trails, and the Grand Canyon nearby, many of the professors at Prescott are committed to experiential learning in the surrounding natural environment. Prescott offers the only PhD program in sustainability education in the nation. And the green curriculum isn’t limited to graduate students: Prescott has a popular undergraduate program in sustainable community development, in which students study how to “green” their communities. An ACUPCC signatory, the school also offers programs in eco-psychology, environmental education, agro-ecology, outdoor adventure education, and wilderness leadership. Respect for the natural world, as well as specific training in sustainability, is incorporated into nearly every class (even those without a green focus). Faculty, staff, and students are eligible for a $1,000 Seedling Award to implement a sustainability project on campus. The campus runs a community-supported agriculture program that provides students with fresh produce grown within a hundred miles of campus. In the past few years, four courses have focused on evaluating the college’s carbon emissions and creating a plan to increase the use of renewable energy on campus. Green student groups are widespread; one even provides a community bicycle workspace with tools and reclaimed parts for use by any bicyclist. Prescott’s Sustainability Reinvestment Fund also spurs student action and involvement. Indeed, the fund encourages students to propose their own initiatives and doles out money to help them enact their plans.
