a) On the Undergraduate Admissions and Graduate Admissions pages, you can access applications and instructions on how to apply.

b) Prospective students can find admissions requirements on our Undergraduate Admissions Application Requirements page and Graduate Admissions Application Requirements page.

Our admissions decision procedures are comprehensive and transparent. They include policies and processes for evaluating transcripts and portfolios on our How to Apply (Undergraduate) and Application Requirements (Graduate) pages. The links also provide information on remediation and advanced standing for our programs. 

c) The BArch and MArch programs are committed to a thorough and equitable evaluation process of applicants. Both programs document the accreditation criteria they expect students to have met in their education experiences in non-accredited programs.

The MArch program articulates the evaluation of baccalaureate-degree content in the admissions process. This evaluation begins in the Institute’s Admissions Office. A baccalaureate degree or an internationally equivalent accredited degree is required to apply to graduate programs. All international transcripts must be translated into English by a certified translation service if a translation is not provided by the school. Both the original document and the English-translated version must be submitted with the application. In some cases, Pratt requires a course-by-course credential evaluation of transcripts. This process is outlined on the Pratt Application Requirements page.

Once baccalaureate-degree content has been verified by the Institute’s Admissions Office, evaluation of MArch applicants’ previous coursework is then evaluated by the Admissions Committee and the Chairperson of the GA/LA/UD Department. The Committee and the Chairperson verify that incoming MArch students fulfill their General Studies requirement with coursework they completed in their undergraduate studies.

Department-specific requirements for admission into the MArch program are also found on the Graduate Departmental Requirements page.

d) Requirements and forms for applying for financial aid and scholarships can be found on the How to Apply for Financial Aid (Undergraduate) and Financial Aid Options for Graduate pages.

Pratt Institute ensures that students have reliable access to current resources and advice for making decisions about financial aid, instilling a sense of security and confidence in their financial planning.

For Graduate admissions, the Finance Your Education page provides specific information on the Cost of Attendance, comprehensive scholarship details, various Financial Aid Options, and Financial Counselors to consult with.
