Seminar - Pratt Exchange

The Office of International Affairs only administers the Exchange Program. The exchange program is where students from Pratt exchange with students from partner schools. Eligibility is strict and competition is very high.

An Invitation to Participate in the International Semester Exchange Program

Get away!

We invite students to do so by participating in one of Pratt’s fourteen international exchange programs. The Institute’s emphasis on diversity and the global exchange of knowledge is reflected in the selection of distinguished schools in Australia, England, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, The Netherlands, Scotland and Sweden. Each partnership school offers a program of classes in fine arts and design or architecture which are uniquely tied to the history and traditions of the country. Living in a different environment will encourage students to develop a broader view of life in the United States and of their work in art, design, & architecture.

The program consists of one semester of full-time study in a host country and is designed for students in their junior year. Students may register for classes in their chosen major or may elect to take courses in different areas. All courses completed with a passing grade will be credited toward the student’s degree program.

This international program is based on exchange. Therefore, all exchange programs are contingent upon the enrollment of students at Pratt from the fourteen partnership schools. For information about the Exchange programs, refer to the download module below. For further information or to be considered for admission to the program, please contact

To students from other schools: 

For students from schools with which Pratt does not have a formal exchange agreement  who wish to exchange with Pratt, please know that it takes about 2 years to set up a program. Also, it is only available to undergraduate students in their second to last year.  We do not exchange students at the Master's level at this time. It is not possible to attend Pratt as an exchange student if we do not have an agreement with your school. We wish you good luck in your educational pursuits.

Exchange Program Quotes

"...as far the food I'm not sure I've ever eaten so good for so cheap!", Joshua Slaby, Exchange to Korea National University of Arts, fall 2010

"While money is always a problem for students, I think the whole experience was worth every penny spent. Even though the semester was shorter in London, Igrew as an artist so far beyond any expectations I had of myself and now going in to my senior thesis I feel so exhited and ready to take on this year's challenges. I think when I look back on my Pratt education as a wholeI'll see how important the CSm portion of my collage education really was. As much as I wouldn't be where I am without Pratt, I don't think I'd be where I am without CSM just as much. I feel so thankful to have had the opportunity to experince both the US and the UK art universities". Catherine Niland, Exchange to Central Saint Martins in London, spring 2011

"We went out to various places in Glasgow and made friends with 'Glaswegians.' People here are super friendly so they had a lot of fun showing me all of the local things to do in Glasgow. I find that in any new city hanging out with locals is the best way to go!" Jenna Pierson, Exchange to Glasgow fall 2011
