A Creative Home
In the heart of Clinton Hill—one of Brooklyn’s most storied neighborhoods—Pratt’s 25-acre campus is a creative community unto itself: historic architecture, green lawns, a sculpture garden, and residence halls where more than 2,100 students live and make work together. And beyond campus are the galleries, museums, and cultural life of New York City.

Makerspaces, studios, and labs span the full range of creative production, from woodworking, metal shops, and darkrooms to robotics, fashion studios, and film and animation production. You’ll have one of the most expansive making environments of any art and design school, where traditional craft and digital fabrication exist side by side.

When you come to Pratt, you join that community. And through Pratt’s Office of Alumni Engagement and the Center for Career and Professional Development, you’ll start building those connections long before graduation day.
