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 Interdisciplinary 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.
