Creative Community

Though our curriculum is rigorous, students are collaborators, not competitors. Pratt students are creative thinkers and makers, often across multiple media. Because of this, studies are interdisciplinary. Students frequently take classes in media entirely different from their major and may even minor in them. We’re also one of the only art and design schools to have NCAA Division III athletics.

We believe feeling great in mind and body is key to your success. That’s why we’re dedicated to supporting you both in and out of the classroom.
