Prescott College’s small class size, nationally-recognized faculty, and commitment to experiential learning create an ideal and nurturing community in which students may learn fundamental skills in Arts and Humanities. Students may pursue the Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree or the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in Arts & Letters by designing a competence that combines two or more areas of the arts, or they may choose a competence in one area, such as Creative Writing or Studio Arts. Some students, working closely with advisors and mentors, design individual competence and breadth tracks in Arts and Humanities that allow them to combine their studies of painting, photography, writing, or dance with their studies in ecology, education, social justice, human development, or adventure education. Student designed competence titles such as Nature Writing, Travel Writing, Photojournalism, Environmental Art, and Nature and Dance are also possible. All students working toward degrees housed in the Arts & Humanities Department engage in courses focused on rigorous, hands-on acquisition and application of skills and theory.
创意写作和文学
在这次实践中，跨学科的学习领域，学生与公布的作家合作，磨练他们的创造性和关键的写作技巧。在创意写作研讨会中，学生产生原创诗歌和散文，除了学习提供和接受建设性的批评，他们学会使用反馈来波动他们的工作。在文学课程中，学生们探索经典和当代的美国作品以及其他文化的作品。我们所有的写作和文学课程都鼓励学生成为细心的读者和知情作家，能够有效地分析和综合材料，能够欣赏多样性，能够与更广泛的世界社区进行话语。
工作室艺术
我们提供一个环境，学生将学生转变为物体和视觉体验的想法和概念。通过课程旨在为个人和社会介绍视觉艺术的重要性，影响和影响，学生在各种媒体中获得实践教学，同时在当代视觉文化中培养对其艺术实践的关键理解。我们所有的课程通过创造性过程的共同经验培养了社区感。我们的工作室课程鼓励学生改进创造性思想，并在制作图像和物体以及跨学科和实验工程时应用获得的知识和技能。
