Exchange Programs

Seminar - Pratt Exchange

****Attention: Students who are applying to the 2010-2011 exchange program - the application is due February 11th. Please carefully review the "2010 Exchange Application Dates pdf" as well as the "Application Outbound Exchange Program 2010-2011 pdf" and all documents relating to the Exchange program at the bottom of this page. In these documents are important directions and information about the process. All students who apply must have attended one of the Exchange Program Information Sessions. One was in November and one was in January.

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

Go away!!!

And we invite students to do so by participating in one of Pratt’s nine 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, Italy, Japan, Korea, The Netherlands and Scotland. 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 nine partnership schools.

Study Abroad

Study Abroad Program differs from the Exchange Programs. Study Abroad programs are programs where a group of Pratt students study together in another country. These programs are under the umbrella of the Center for Continuing and Professional Studies.

Students who are interested to pursue a study abroad program not offered by Pratt should see their academic advisor for assistance. Please visit the Continuing and Professional Studies section for more information on our study abroad programs.

 

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.
 
Is it 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.

 If you have further questions please contact us at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exchange Program Quotes

Sept. 15, 2009

“I feel like there is freedom and a lot of perspective. I like the critique style because in Japan the teacher is the leader and here the teacher is like a friend. In Japan, we spend a lot of time on a single project, but here we have to make something every week which is more practical for learning the materials. It’s really good experience to have the two learning styles.” Shihori Yamamoto

“One highlight for me was when I could order food on the phone in Korean and they understood me.” Sarah Shaw
“My advice is just to do it. Apply.” Elizabeth Weng

“It is good to learn from two different learning styles." (Germany and America) Micha Ott
