Center for Continuing and Professional Studies

Welcome to Pratt's Center for Continuing and Professional Studies, (CCPS)

Pratt CCPS is committed to serving the lifelong learning needs of diverse, non-traditional students in the Brooklyn and Manhattan community. To this end, the Institute offers a wide range of courses at its Manhattan location at 144 West 14th Street during each fall, spring and summer term, and on its campus in the historic Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn.

We are a center where . . .

adults keep learning, exploring, and experimenting with time-tested and innovative ideas, skills, and practices by completing professional development courses and certificate programs.  

Pratt employees, faculty, and alumni are welcome to take CCPS courses for their personal enrichment or for career advancement.

Companies seeking on-site technical and/or professional development training for their employees can request customized corporate training packages.

Pratt's Pre-college program for middle and high school students offers college credit and portfolio development through various art and design majors preparing students for successful admission into the colleges of their choice.

Non-Pratt college students may enroll in Pratt Summer Credit Intensive courses to gain skills and competencies in art, design, or architecture, while earning elective credits for further academic advancement in the degree of their choice.

International students are warmly invited to register in our SEVIS-approved certificate programs and enjoy studying in New York City. The Pratt Institute Office of International Affairs staff provides the proper visa to study at Pratt.
