Programs for High School Students

Summer Program

Brooklyn Campus

Every summer, Pratt sponsors a college-level program for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors. The program attracts up to 400 students. It is an intensive immersion experience in art, design, architecture, or creative writing.

The summer program regularly attracts national and international students. Students choose an elective course such as fine arts/painting & drawing, graphic design, illustration (traditional or digital), fashion design, photography, architecture, or creative writing. Students develop their creative skills, build an effective portfolio for college admission, and earn four college credits. Scholarships are available based on merit.

Supervised weekend activities are mandatory for students who choose to live on campus in Pratt's air-conditioned residence halls. The four-week program culminates in an art exhibit for the entire Pratt community and parents.
