The nine-credit Advanced Certificate in Urban Placemaking provides students with theoretical frameworks, analytical skills, community engagement techniques, and visualization competencies that build toward effective practice in developing, designing and managing successful public space. Developed from the curriculum of Pratt’s unique MS in Urban Placemaking and Management program, the Advanced Certificate is available both to those pursuing a Pratt graduate degree in any discipline and wanting an additional credential upon graduation, as well as those interested in a stand-alone certificate to enhance career options or to use as a bridge to a graduate degree.
