Pratt is an institute, an experience, and an idea. What started as a radical experiment to expand access to creative careers is now a community of 5,137 grad and undergrad students working across 48 programs with 1,200 dedicated faculty. 135 years in the making, this is Pratt.
Together, our faculty and staff have crafted an answer to one of the most common questions we hear: what is Pratt? In short—we provide the creative leaders of tomorrow the knowledge and experience to make a better world.
Pratt Institute offers a unique and dynamic work environment and culture for its employees, one infused with the creative energy and intellectual fervor of working artists and professionals, in an extraordinary campus setting in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn, as well as in the Manhattan campus on West 14th Street.
At Pratt Institute, diversity is represented by a mosaic of individuals from a variety of races, ethnicities, religions, gender expressions, sexualities, geographic backgrounds, cultures, ages, abilities, and socioeconomic groups. As a leading college of art and design devoted to a creative learning community, Pratt recognizes the strength that stems from a diversity of perspectives, values, ideas, backgrounds, styles, approaches, experiences, and beliefs.
Pratt Institute aspires to be a campus that welcomes and encourages individuals of all backgrounds to contribute to our culture as their authentic selves.
