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.

The Tools to Make Anything

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.

More than 61,000 Pratt alumni work across the creative economy in over 75 countries, in architecture firms, fashion houses, film studios, galleries, and design agencies around the world. When you come to Pratt, you join that community.
