The Ecosa Institute is a sustainability-based design school located in Prescott, Arizona. Independently founded in 1996, Ecosa became officially sponsored by Prescott College in 2012. Prescott College is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the Northcentral Association as well as accredited by the Association for Experiential Education. Ecosa Institutes's goal is to bring innovative thinking, new pedagogical forms and an interdisciplinary approach to a design education using nature as its underlying model. Ecosa provides a nontraditional approach to design education, with semester programs in Regenerative Ecological Design (RE-Design) that explore creative visual expression, living systems thinking, sustainable materials, construction and methods. The intent is to produce design thinkers who have a broad-based knowledge of nature, culture, and design who can understand the larger perspectives fundamental to creating a sustainable future.
