STUDY ABROAD OPPORTUNITIES
- Pratt in Puerto Rico
- ADE 401/601 Community Matters offered in the spring includes a spring break to Puerto Rico. In addition to a deep dive into Puerto Rican history and politics, students will participate in a series of cultural activities and enjoy unstructured time to explore San Juan and surrounding areas. Students will engage with a community-based organization and advance their knowledge of their discipline area through making explicit connections between academic learning and a community-based experience in a study-away program. Students work and learn alongside professionals in public schools or community based organizations. Students will interact with artists in studio visits, and with art curators and museum professionals at the Museum of Art and Design Miramar or the Museum of Contemporary Art. The program is open to all students. Priority is given to students from the following programs: Art and Design Education UG and G majors, Teaching in NYC minors; and Museum and Gallery Practices minors. Information sessions are held
