Art, design, architecture—these disciplines exist in a rich world of ideas and cultural expressions. Our Social Science & Cultural Studies programs help you more deeply understand them. A core part of the Pratt experience, these courses act as both a complement to your creative endeavors and a lens through which to further explore them. Across psychology and economics, history and philosophy, you’ll build context of how culture is created, and in the process, a perspective on how to change it.
