The School of Architecture’s mission is to educate the future
leaders of the design, planning, and management disciplines in
the professional fields of architecture, urban design, city and
regional planning, construction and facilities management,
environmental management, historic preservation, urban place-
making, and real estate management. This effort builds upon a
strong context of professional education within an art and
design institute that stresses the relationship between intellectual
development and creative activity. The school offers a broad
cultural and analytical base in the liberal arts and sciences, while
providing the specialized knowledge unique to individual
disciplines. The importance of independent learning is empha
sized through studio-based curricula and research-oriented
thesis programs.
The balance between theory and practice is critical and is
gained only through rigorous exposure to these diverse elements.
The beauty of Pratt is that it has, in the words of one graduate,
“reached critical, cultural mass,” where the diversity and liveliness
of discussions about the how, what, and why of the profession
are always vigorous and interesting. The School of Architecture is
dedicated to maintaining the connection between design theory
and practice and to contributing to the knowledge necessary
to fully understand the built environment.
The range of programs within the school and the accessibility
of other programs within the Institute enable students to pursue
a wide variety of interests within the field. Architecture students
may take electives in fine arts, illustration, computer graphics,
industrial design, furniture design, interior design, and photo
graphy, as well as architectural electives in advanced architectural
theory, advanced fabrication technology, and morphology.
The opportunity to learn from peers also is an invaluable part
of the educational experience. The student body includes many
international students, each of whom brings a different perspective
to the study of architecture. The school encourages transfer
students to apply and will evaluate credits from other colleges,
universities, or community colleges.
The Pratt student graduates from the Architecture program
knowing architecture as a discipline that gathers from the arts,
sciences, and liberal arts to produce works of value that are
sensitive to the realities of life in cultures around the world.
23
The Pratt graduate is imbued with strong ethical values and an
understanding of the architect’s ability to improve quality of life.
For its faculty, the school draws upon the world’s largest pool
of practicing architects, building professionals, theoreticians,
historians, and critics, who bring to the classroom professional
expertise, a strong theoretical base, and the high standards
to which they adhere in their work. Students are further exposed
to the professional world through optional internship programs
that place them in outstanding New York architectural firms,
public agencies, and nonprofit design institutions, giving them
firsthand work experience as well as credit toward their profes
sional degrees. The program makes rich use of the extended
resources of the metropolitan New York community.
The School of Architecture demonstrates daily that learning
does not occur solely within the classroom. This is reflected in the
School of Architecture lecture series that bring some of the most
influential architects and design professionals in the world
to campus; the Center for Experimental Structures; exhibitions
and symposia organized and curated by students and faculty;
and the study abroad excursions in Asia, South America, Europe,
and our semester program in Rome.
The School of Architecture at Pratt Institute seeks to create a
culture of innovation and research in both the faculty and student
body. The School of Architecture recognizes that in the design
world of the 21st century, important research is being conducted
around the world by innovative professionals and educators,
and that traditional academic categories of research are giving
way to “research-driven practice,” particularly in the areas
of sustainability, digital design, material research, and community
planning. The School of Architecture can therefore play a
pivotal role in the development of this emergent research culture
by creating a flexible, adaptable, and technically supportive
environment where students are engaged in studio and research
courses with teaching professionals in their respective discipline.
The School of Architecture will maintain its commitment
to professional evaluation and accreditation standards, but will
augment these standards with educational experiences in the
form of “think tank” or “incubator” models.
24
Undergraduate Architecture is a five-year accredited
Architecture Bachelor of Architecture program that prepares students
with an early interest in architecture to become leading
professional practitioners. Students at Pratt learn that
architecture is a meaningful cultural contribution, requir
ing both imagination and material realization within
a larger social and ethical context. The five-year design
sequence offers a thorough foundation in architecture,
integrating critical thinking, design, technology, building,
representation, and social responsibility.
Students strive for creative and intellectual independ
ence and inspired architectural research. Firmly committed
to contemporary material practices, the program is
currently developing initiatives to integrate new techn
ologies into the curriculum.
The Bachelor of Architecture program is a fully
accredited five-year professional program and was ranked
eigth nationally by DesignIntelligence in 2016. The program
received an eight-year reaccreditation in fall 2016.
In the United States, most registration boards require
a degree from an accredited professional degree program
as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural
Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency
authorized to accredit professional degree programs
in architecture, offered by institutions with U.S. regional
accreditation, recognizes three types of degrees: the
bachelor of architecture, the master of architecture, and
the doctor of architecture. A program may be granted an
eight-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation,
depending on the extent of its conformance with
established educational standards.

degree programs may require a preprofessional under

ural design, construction technology, graphic communi
cation, and the humanistic aspects of design.
The liberal arts areas require 48 credits, of which 12
are taken within the School of Architecture (ARCH 151, 152,
251, and 252), six credits in English, six in cultural history,
six in science, and six in social science. The remaining
12 credits are taken as electives selected from the liberal
arts courses offered by the School of Liberal Arts
and Sciences. The elective courses consist of 15 credits
of professional electives selected from courses offered
by the undergraduate architecture programs, and 12
all-Institute electives, selected from courses offered by
any school in the Institute. By purposefully selecting
courses within all elective areas during their last four
semesters, students can develop their own unique archi
tectural education based on their own needs and
goals. This personalized fourth-year curriculum is directed
toward culmination in the fifth-year degree project.
Individual curricula may be developed to place more
emphasis on such subject areas as design, preservation,
building technology, history and theory, planning,
construction management, and urban design in the final
two years of study.
The degree project year completes the student’s
academic architectural experience with an in‑depth
design study, preceded and accompanied by research.
The degree project is executed with guidance from
critics chosen by the student.
Undergraduate Architecture students may also be
interested in a Concentration in Morphology or a minor in
Construction Management as well as options combining
the undergraduate degrees with various master’s degrees
in Planning and Facilities Management.
Concentration in Morphology
As part of the Center for Experimental Structures (CES),
the Concentration in Morphology leverages the long
history of interest in form studies with a focus on exploring
the relationship between form and space (geometry,
topology), form and force (structural morphology), form
and time (dynamic morphology) enabled by computation,
fabrication, construction, and emerging technologies.
Within this overview, different course offerings focus on
any combination of these topics. Since D’Arcy Thompson’s
pioneering work a century ago, the generative principles

Construction management is the planning, bidding, and
Construction coordination of a project from construction drawings to
completion; its participants are the “business managers”
Management for the built environment. A construction manager
may work for a large development/construction company,
as an owner’s representative on projects, or as a specialist
in one of the many roles required for the efficient,
economically viable, and safe delivery of construction
projects. These construction projects may have a variety
of purposes from housing, commercial/office space,
recreational and urban placemaking plazas, to intermodal
transportation projects.
The construction manager is charged with the tasks
of assembling a team for construction; contending
with numerous local, state, and federal regulations; and
coordinating skilled craftspeople, unions, contractors,
subcontractors, architects, engineers, planners, consult
ants, and the owner/developer. The day-to-day
challenges of construction management make for some
of the most demanding assignments in the world, whether
a manager is overseeing the construction of a towering
skyscraper or a public plaza.
Construction management is a collaborative effort.
The primary relationships among stakeholders can
be represented by a triangle, with the owner at one point,
the architect/engineer at another, and the construction
manager at the third. Given the growing complexity
of design and construction, whether urban, suburban,
or rural, there are no major projects built without this
crucial team in place.
Pratt’s School of Architecture has the distinction of
being one of the first and one of the few urban schools
in the nation to offer this essential degree program.
The faculty consists of leading professionals, including
the project manager and the director of safety and site

The mission of the School of Art is to educate those who will
make and shape our built and mediated environment, our aesthetic
surroundings, and our collective future.
Pratt’s School of Art is a destination for talented students with
a strong desire to explore the boundaries of art. Young artists
from around the world come to study at Pratt’s campus, located in
the heart of historic and contemporary Brooklyn. Students join
a community of working artists who make up Pratt’s outstanding
faculty that encourages growth and experimentation.
The School of Art offers a diverse range of programs in Digital
Arts, Film, Fine Arts, Photography, and Art and Design Education.
These programs are supported by studies in the liberal arts and
sciences, creating a dynamic context for stimulating intellectual
and creative inquiry. The School of Art programs are also enriched
by Pratt’s distinguished professional programs in the School of
Design and the School of Architecture—all within the cultural
campus of New York City.
Two parallel objectives guide every department in the School
of Art. One is the emphasis on students acquiring a high level
of skills, techniques, methodologies, and vocabulary required for
success as creative professionals. The second objective—inter
twined with the first—is to balance that professional proficiency
with a highly developed critical judgment based on historical
perspectives that allows students to become effective and creative
problem solvers for the world they will graduate into.
The School of Art’s diverse collection of disciplines is dedicated
to the primacy of studio practice and the transformative power
of creativity. We educate leaders in the creative professions to
identify, understand, shape, and benefit from the challenges of
a rapidly changing world. Our programs are designed to develop
critical thinking skills, deepen understanding, enable practice,
and empower visionary action. The School of Art is dedicated to
developing creative leadership in a world that requires it.

The Foundation program at Pratt Institute is the first year
Foundation of the four-year education of a Pratt student. Pratt faculty
from throughout the Institute have worked together to
carefully craft a comprehensive yearlong course of study
that will prepare students for future study in the School
of Art or the School of Design.
The curriculum has been designed with two major
outcomes in mind. One is that students will be introduced
to concepts, materials, and methods of making common
to all art and design practice. The second outcome is that
students will become confident practitioners of the design
or creative process. Each student will leave the first year
with the confidence and conviction necessary to continue
their studies in their chosen field.
Pratt Foundation faculty are aware that learning is an
acquired skill. As much as instructing students in skills
and concepts, faculty will introduce students to what
learning means in the new environment of college. Learning
in higher education is not the same as learning in K-12.
Learning in an art and design school differs from learning
at other colleges and universities. And learning at Pratt
is distinct from learning at other art and design schools.
The first-year curriculum will take the student through
periods of guided instruction, to generative learning and
problem solving, to self-directed projects with explicit
communicative and expressive outcomes. Students will
learn to confront desirable difficulties and arrive at original,
well-crafted solutions in traditional media as well as the
most recent digital applications.
The first-year course of study consists of Foundation
Studio Core, Themes in Art and Culture I and II (HA 111
and HA 112), and Introduction to Literary and Critical
Acting Chair
Studies (HMS 101A and HMS 101B). The Fashion Department
Kim Sloane is an exception and has its own first-year program.
Transfer students will be evaluated for advanced standing,

to multidimensional concepts and practice. Form, Space,

solving. Time and Movement is an immersive introduction NEED FULL
CAPTION
to ordering information in time and dynamic design.
The Foundation-year courses have been developed
as parts of a whole with a purposeful interweaving
of content and experience. Art and design are seen as
fields whose work is to fulfill and address human needs.
These needs may be emotional or practical, or some
beautiful combination of the two. Students in the first
year learn to see addressing these needs as a challenge,
and are provided with the information, tools, methods,
and encouragement they need to meet these challenges.
Foundation students complete a journey from passive
learning to active making. The year provides a time and
space for students to realize the best vision of themselves
as creative individuals.

The BFA and BFA/MA degrees prepare students to approach
Art and Design teaching as a creative process modeled upon and nourished
by intensive studio preparation in a contemporary art
Education context. Students engage in fieldwork and student teaching
experiences which help them integrate their studio work,
studies in liberal arts, education theory, and teaching
practice. Throughout their teaching experiences in K-12
schools and community-based educational settings, students:
ll Provide holistic studio learning opportunities for
young people,
ll Value young people’s social and cultural assets, and
ll Connect to young people’s families and communities.

You can’t escape the moving image. Whether in theaters
Film and art galleries or on television, smartphones, YouTube,
building façades, and cabs, movies are everywhere. The
magic of cinema, which shocked audiences at its inception,
is now fully integrated into our daily lives. With near
universal access, the medium is constantly evolving and
reinventing itself. How can you, as a young artist, make the
most of this moment? How can you explore all the exciting
new possibilities of film and video, while still becoming
skilled in the relevant traditions?
Pratt’s BFA in Film is designed to grow the next
generation of innovators in time-based media. Housed
within the School of Art, the program offers a unique
approach to the fundamentals of filmmaking, with extensive
technical and conceptual training in both traditional and
nontraditional forms. At Pratt, there are no limits. Fiction
or nonfiction? Commercial or art world? These may
be boundaries you choose to move beyond. Your classes
will take you through all modes of film and video (narrative,
documentary, experimental, and hybrid), encouraging
intellectual cross-fertilization and allowing you to shape
your own artistic vision. While our program provides
students with professional training in all current technol
ogies, our priority is creative expression.
In our curriculum, award-winning film/video artists and
industry professionals teach an exciting range of courses,
from first-semester Film Fundamentals and Technical
Practices to the culminating Senior Project, in which each
student makes a short film, video, or installation as their
senior thesis.
Throughout the program, students create, write, direct,
Chair and edit as “total filmmakers,” rather than focusing on one

new directions in the field are not limited to your Ways

and micro-cinemas, world-class museums and film

preprofessional experiences abound. You can join a film
crew shooting on the streets of Brooklyn—or intern at
places like the Museum of Modern Art, Saturday Night Live,
or one of the countless independent companies that
shape New York City’s thriving creative scene.
The future of the moving image is unpredictable and
wide open. At Pratt, we’re excited by the possibilities.
Our mission is to provide you with tools and techniques,
an understanding of history, and a complex yet flexible
interdisciplinary arts education, allowing you to guide us
into that future.
Our recent graduates are already leading the way with
their infectious pioneering spirit. They are directing films
that have premiered at Cannes, the Toronto International
Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, Miami’s Art Basel,
and numerous other festivals. Some alumni work as video
editors and producers at prestigious media outlets
including MTV, USA Networks, Entertainment Weekly, The
New Yorker, People, and Time, while others are directors
for established commercial production companies or
have formed their own successful media businesses. We
celebrate their accomplishments and look forward to yours.

THE PROGRAM’S STRUCTURE
The Department of Photography is committed to the
education of artists and professionals who have acquired
a comprehensive understanding of the artistic and profes
sional opportunities in the field. The curriculum provides
an extensive photographic education through a series of
core classes that promote students’ technical and
conceptual development. Photography majors move from
a highly structured program in their freshman and
sophomore years to a more flexible program in their junior
and senior years in which students choose from a variety of
electives in photography, other studio disciplines, and in
the humanities. This approach is intended to facilitate the
transition from student to independent artist and
professional. Completion of the curriculum culminates with
an exhibition in the Pratt Photography Gallery, as well as
a group show in a New York City gallery, and a collaborative
photography publication. Small class sizes help to promote
a strong sense of community in the intimate setting of
Pratt’s Brooklyn campus. Students are given opportunities
to meet artists and critics through the Pratt Photography
Lectures, visiting critiques, and artist studio and museum
visits. This access can help students build contacts and
relationships with influential professionals in the field.
Like a small town within a big city, we look to give
students their own voice, so they can employ it in
whichever direction they choose.

Pratt provides one of the most comprehensive design educations
available, supported by a distinguished faculty and exceptional
resources, and located in the borough of Brooklyn, New York’s
design and cultural epicenter.
Gifted students from across the United States and around the
world collaborate and learn at Pratt, weaving creative energy and
opportunity into an unmatched educational experience.
The faculty consists of professional designers, artists, and
practitioners, including numerous recipients of prestigious awards,
such as Tiffany, Fulbright, and Guggenheim fellowships. The faculty’s
works, projects, and publications are recognized and respected
around the world.
The School of Design offers degrees in Communications Design,
Fashion Design, Industrial Design, and Interior Design. The intensive,
studio-based programs of study are paired with studies in the
liberal arts and sciences, creating a dynamic context for stimulating
intellectual and creative inquiry.
The School of Design programs are also enriched by Pratt’s
distinguished programs in the School of Art and the School of
Architecture—all within the broader cultural campus of New
York City.
Two parallel objectives guide every program at Pratt. The first
is an emphasis on professional development. Students gain the
techniques, skills, methodologies, and vocabulary they require to
succeed as productive artists, designers, and scholars. The second
objective recognizes that this technical experience only takes root
within a complex cultural context. Therefore, students in the
School of Design also develop the critical judgment and historical
perspective they need to become creative problem solvers in the
international arena.
The mission of the School of Design is to educate those who
will make and shape our built and mediated environment, our
aesthetic surroundings, and our collective future. We are dedicated
to the primacy of studio practice and the transformative power
of creativity. We educate leaders in the creative professions to
identify, understand, shape, and benefit from the challenges of
a rapidly changing world. Our courses are designed to develop
critical thinking skills, deepen understanding, enable practice,

The Foundation program at Pratt Institute is the first year
Foundation of the four-year education of a Pratt student. Pratt faculty
from throughout the Institute have worked together to
carefully craft a comprehensive yearlong course of study
that will prepare students for future study in the School
of Art or the School of Design.
The curriculum has been designed with two major
outcomes in mind. One is that students will be introduced
to concepts, materials, and methods of making common
to all art and design practice. The second outcome is that
students will become confident practitioners of the design
or creative process. Each student will leave the first year
with the confidence and conviction necessary to continue
their studies in their chosen field.
Pratt foundation faculty are aware that learning is an
acquired skill. As much as instructing students in skills
and concepts, faculty will introduce students to what
learning means in the new environment of college. Learning
in higher education is not the same as learning in K-12.
Learning in an art and design school differs from learning
at other colleges and universities. And learning at Pratt
is distinct from learning at other art and design schools.
The first-year curriculum will take the student through
periods of guided instruction, to generative learning and
problem solving, to self-directed projects with explicit
communicative and expressive outcomes. Students will
learn to confront desirable difficulties and arrive at original,
well-crafted solutions in traditional media as well as the
most recent digital applications.
The first-year course of study consists of Foundation
Studio Core, Themes in Art and Culture I and II (HA 111
and HA 112), and Introduction to Literary and Critical
Acting Chair
Studies (HMS 101A and HMS 101B). The Fashion Department
Kim Sloane is an exception and has its own first-year program.
Transfer students will be evaluated for advanced standing,

Students will take one semester each of Form, Space,

www.pratt.edu/foundation full six-hour studio classes that will introduce students
115
to multidimensional concepts and practice. Form, Space,
and Process is three-dimensional concepts and problem-
solving. Time and Movement is an immersive introduction
to ordering information in time and dynamic design.
The Foundation-year courses have been developed
as parts of a whole with a purposeful interweaving
of content and experience. Art and design are seen as
fields whose work is to fulfill and address human needs.
These needs may be emotional or practical, or some
beautiful combination of the two. Students in the first
year learn to see addressing these needs as a challenge,
and are provided with the information, tools, methods,
and encouragement they need to meet these challenges.
Foundation students complete a journey from passive
learning to active making. The year provides a time and
space for students to realize the best vision of themselves
as creative individuals.

Our program prepares communications design students
Communications to be versatile and astute communicators; critical and
conceptual thinkers; and inspired and responsible
Design cultural producers.
Housed inside the School of Design on Pratt’s historic
campus in Brooklyn, the Department of Undergraduate
Communications Design is a recognized leader in the field.
Students learn to engage audiences, explore technologies,
develop visual languages, challenge preconceptions,
redefine problems and identify opportunities through the
Graphic Design lens of communication design.
Our location allows students to participate and find

Advertising Art Direction thriving creative industries. Our graduates leave equipped
to pursue a spectrum of exciting career paths as creative
professionals. Our alumni continue to distinguish them-
selves in design studios, cultural institutions, branding
agencies and independent enterprises, making significant
contributions to the fields of art and design, publishing,
education, film, gaming, advertising, and many more.
THE CURRICULUM
The Communications Design curriculum embraces the
multi-faceted and interdisciplinary nature of communication
design practice. Our courses and projects promote the
rich exchange embodied in a studio culture that values the
development of individual perspectives, critique, visual
literacy, media fluency, experiential learning, and innovative
formal outcomes.
Second-year coursework introduces fundamental
theories, methodologies and skills central to comm-
unication design. Courses prompt students to define and
explore a design process that engages research, historical
and contemporary contexts, experimentation, audience,
Chair technology, and play in the construction of meaningful
Jessica Wexler visual forms.
Assistant Chairs
Upper-level studio courses prompt students to engage

practitioners from across the industry, including designers
at top houses, artists, historians, and curators—Susan
Cianciolo, Daryl Kerrigan, Mike Echkaus of Eckhaus Latta,
and Beverley Semmes are among them. Faculty work
has been featured in a wide range of publications including
Vogue, WWD, Artforum, Interview, Wallpaper, The New
Yorker, New York Magazine, The New York Times, and
countless others.
Guest practitioners from all fashion backgrounds join
faculty in the classroom as visiting lecturers, advisers,
and critics. Each semester, a full roster of fashion experts
is invited to talk theory and practice with Pratt students.
The Curriculum
The Fashion Design curriculum fosters development
of individual identity within a collaborative environment,
informed by self-reflection and engaged critique. A pro
fessionally active and accomplished faculty challenges
students to seek beyond the conventional. Students are
prompted to have an ongoing dialog between sketch,
flat 2-D patternmaking, and 3-D drape. They are expected
to work consistently—executing the fashion idea through
the making of innovative collections.
The Department of Fashion offers a wide variety of
elective and advanced courses in topics such as accessory,
NOSO technology, and advanced topical courses to
complement the core curriculum. The department offers
international exchange programs and intensives abroad.

Internship
Pratt students are required to complete three credits of
internship during their senior year. Students have the
opportunity to explore different aspects of the New York
fashion design industry through their choice of internships.
The internship experience provides them with job search
ing and interview skills, as well as practice in how to write
a résumé and present their portfolio. A Pratt faculty adviser
guides each student throughout the experience, making
sure the students’ learning objectives are met.
Alumni
Pratt Fashion graduates go on to do remarkable things
in the industry. Many develop their own collections and
labels, and virtually all find placement at top design houses
in New York and beyond. Pratt alumni design for Calvin
Klein, Oscar de la Renta, Monse, Thom Browne, Creatures

The mission of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences (SLAS)
is to enable students to explore areas of knowledge and to reflect
critically and creatively on aesthetic forms and on intellectual
and cultural practices. Students conduct research, substantiate
arguments, and communicate in the broadest possible socio-
historical, literary, and scientific contexts. The school’s primary
goal is for students to make continuing contributions as critical
thinkers and creative professionals.
SLAS plays two major roles in the undergraduate curriculum.
First, it provides a well-rounded education for students in the
professional programs, offering a general education curriculum
in humanities and media studies, mathematics and science,
social science, and cultural studies. With both depth and breadth
unequaled by other colleges of art and design, SLAS also offers
a suite of minors to complement the professional degrees: Cinema
Studies, Creative Writing, Cultural Studies, History of Art and
Design, Literature and Writing, Media Studies, Performance and
Performance Studies, Philosophy, Psychology, and Sustainability.
Second, the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers three
undergraduate degrees: the BA in Critical and Visual Studies, the
BFA in Writing, and the BFA in the History of Art and Design. The
Critical and Visual Studies program is for the curious and
imaginative student who wants to pursue studies in the liberal arts
and sciences while immersed in Pratt’s unique environment of
creative openness and intellectual experimentation. At the core of
the program is the understanding that the integration of theory,
method, and experience is crucial to learning. Here, every aspect of
social life—from street art to political systems, from international
media to the global economy—is a potential subject of study. The
program provides a unique interdisciplinary framework within
which our students explore the liberal arts through the study of the
artistic, social, and political meanings of cultural and aesthetic
production.
The chief goal of the undergraduate writing degree is the grad
uation of creative writers who are well-versed in literature,
literary theory, and other modes of critical thinking. At the center
of the curriculum are creative writing studios in which a range of
forms are explored. The studios are complemented by core courses
that focus on essential, but too often neglected, aspects of the
literary arts—word choice, grammar, logic, exposition, and critical
159
thought. The location of the program in New York City is taken
full advantage of, primarily in Writer’s Forum, a course that invites
writers, editors, and literary agents to campus to address the
writing majors, and the Internship Program, in which students can
select from an array of internships, from St. Mark’s Poetry Project
to Saturday Night Live.
The undergraduate degree in the History of Art and Design offers
students the chance to study on a campus that attracts leading
artists. Students have the opportunity to study 17th‑century frescoes
in Venice, 19th-century Dogon figures in the conservation
laboratory at the Brooklyn Museum, and 21st‑century performance
art as curatorial interns at the Guggenheim Museum. History
of Art and Design students bring a wide array of experiences and
backgrounds to their studies and graduate the program with
new knowledge, experience, and a professional network to inform
and support their careers for many years.
160
Critical and visual studies (CritViz) is a bachelor of arts
Critical and program for imaginative, interdisciplinary students seeking
to pursue a liberal arts degree while immersed in Pratt’s
Visual Studies uniquely vibrant, creative environment.
Students are afforded the opportunity to pursue
individually tailored paths of study grounded in a core
curriculum emphasizing both theoretical foundations and
practical applications. CritViz therefore provides
unparalleled opportunities to explore the liberal arts
through the lens of visual and material culture, while
emphasizing the artistic, social, and political meanings of
cultural and aesthetic production. In our program, every
aspect of social life—from street art to political systems,
music and cinema to high fashion, underground media to
the global economy—is therefore a potential subject
of study.

Pratt Institute is an exceptional place to study the history
History of Art of art and design. Our landmarked campus attracts
leading artists, designers, historians, and theorists and is
and Design only minutes from the studios, galleries, private collections,
libraries, and museums that make New York a premier
center of art and design.
Our faculty is composed of distinguished scholars
and mentors who focus on the intellectual and profession
al growth of our students. They bring a broad range of
expertise and different methodologies to the classroom;
in addition, about half of our faculty also has extensive
museum and curatorial experience. Their expertise,
dedication, and original thinking are evident in our curricu
lum and in the academic opportunities and professional
connections faculty members create for their students,
and most importantly, are reflected in the quality of our
students’ work.
Explore our degree options and you will find students
studying 16th-century frescoes in Venice, 20th-century
product design, and 21st-century performance art at the
New Museum. Students come from a wide range of
backgrounds, and leave with knowledge, experience, and
a professional network that will inform and support their
careers for many years.
Every art and design history student’s program
includes “behind-the-scenes” experiences, not only at
exhibitions and museums but also in the Institute itself.
Connections with other departments in all areas of
fine arts and design—interior, industrial, communications,
and fashion—offer a unique platform for an interaction
between practitioners and theoreticians. Our students
witness the making of art and design firsthand.
The History of Art and Design Department offers
exciting lectures and seminars with a wide range of
approaches, from connoisseurship to the most recent
theoretical approaches. Frequent excursions and intern
ships result from our extensive working relationships
with the city’s museums, galleries, and cultural organiz
ations and are a crucial part of the curriculum.

Choosing a college should be based on the quality and
Financial Aid reputation of the program rather than on finances.
We understand, however, that many families face concerns
when choosing a highly regarded college such as Pratt.
We are committed to providing sufficient financial
assistance to make the costs more affordable for each
family. Our commitment is directly reflected by the large
amount of gift money awarded each year. In fact, more
than 86 percent of our students receive some type of
financial assistance.
Each family is also responsible for a contribution,
which is determined in part by the family’s income, assets,
benefits, and size. In addition, the student is expected
to pursue scholarships, grants, and/or loans from private
sources to help defray the cost of education.
Pratt offers various kinds of assistance, ranging from
academic merit–based scholarships to need-based
financial aid. Included in that list are tuition scholarships,
grants, work-study employment, and loans. By combining
federal, state, and institutional funds, we make every
effort to assist students and their families in meeting the
increasing cost of a college education. Through the collab
orative benefits of alumni gifts, endowments by private
industries, other endowments, and government agency
programs, we are able to support our student body.
