The mission of Pratt Institute is to educate artists and creative professionals to be responsible contributors to society.
Pratt seeks to instill in all graduates aesthetic judgment, professional knowledge, collaborative skills, and technical expertise.
With a firm grounding in the liberal arts and sciences, a Pratt education blends theory with creative application in preparing graduates to become leaders in their professions.
Pratt enrolls a diverse group of highly talented and dedicated students, challenging them to achieve their full potential.
Pratt Institute and the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership (the Partnership) recently announced a collaboration to expand the reach of PrattCard, Pratt’s student and faculty identification card, to businesses on the Myrtle Avenue commercial corridor at the start of the Fall 2009 semester. Once in place, Pratt students, faculty, and staff will be able to put a cash balance on their cards similar to a debit card that can be used to shop or dine at participating Myrtle Avenue businesses.
