Pratt Institute Strategic Plan 2025–2030

Pratt’s ambitious new strategic plan revises our mission, vision, and values and sets high-level goals to ensure long-term institutional sustainability and to chart a course for Pratt to be the standard-setter among creative institutions.

Mission, Vision, and Values as Guides

Our revised guiding principles and guiding ideas ensure that our strategic planning and the work it inspires are based in Pratt’s self-understanding and our role in the world. They are intentionally brief to help us commit them to memory and use them as our guides moving forward.

Strategic Growth Strategies and Measurable Goals

We structured this strategic plan differently from our previous plan. The goals are written at an institutional level and the responsibility for achieving these goals sits with the Institute and its constituent divisions. We invite you to read the plan as an “institutional citizen” sharing in the collective work of the Institute laid out in the plan.

Explore the plan in detail
Two women are examining a pink, curved display with various clear sections, likely part of an exhibition. One woman, wearing a dress and glasses, points at the display while the other, in a pink top and glasses, smiles as she looks on. Background displays and other attendees can be seen blurred behind them.
A group of people are constructing a geometric structure using metal rods. One individual on a ladder is holding a rod while others are positioned around the base, helping to connect the pieces. Two people in the foreground are gripping the rods, while another person stands on the ladder in the background. The scene takes place outdoors amid bare trees and a concrete surface. The sky is cloudy, indicating overcast weather.
A woman with gray curly hair points at displays in a glass case filled with various natural specimens, including insects and rocks. Two women, one with short blonde curly hair and the other with a patterned blouse, lean in closely, observing the items. The setting is bright with large windows and plants visible in the background, alongside a microscope on a nearby counter.

Process, Implementation, and Participants

Following a yearlong process that engaged the community in its development, our Board of Trustees approved this strategic plan in October 2025. In the months and years that follow, we will move to implement it, working with colleagues across campus to track and report progress. We look forward to advancing this ambitious and targeted strategic plan.

More on the process
Two women stand in an art gallery, admiring architectural models displayed on pedestals. One woman gestures toward a tall model with colorful sections, while the other claps her hands in excitement. Various artworks adorn the gallery walls, including paintings and mixed media pieces. Large windows provide natural light and a view of buildings outside. The scene conveys a sense of engagement and creativity in a modern space dedicated to art and architecture.
A crowd of people is seated in a theater, with blue seating in the background. A woman in a gray sweater is seated in the foreground, looking thoughtful while holding a program. Other audience members are visible behind her, with varying expressions, engaged in the presentation.
