Give yourself an edge. Hone an essential skill before you begin a graduate program of study. Pratt’s Grad Prep courses support your academic success with foundational classes curated and taught by Pratt’s distinguished faculty.
This program features small, interactive classes, real-time instruction (either in-person, or on Zoom), free access to software for remote use, and free access to designated campus labs.
Architecture
Architecture students entering MARCH, MLA, MSARCH, or MSUD programs are highly encouraged to get a head start by taking Architectural Mediums Primer. The general public is invited to experience the same instruction and curriculum in Architecture Immersion Studio. Both are offered through the School of Architecture Graduate Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Design programs.
- Architecture Immersion Studio (general public)
- Architectural Mediums Primer (admitted students only)
ELL Portfolio
Improve your English fluency by completing the ELL Portfolio Certificate. Successful completion helps support your academic success through English writing/reading and speaking/listening skills development, applicable to graduate major coursework at Pratt Institute. Students with TOEFL scores less than 100 should consider registering for the ELL Portfolio Certificate before starting a full-time, graduate program of study. Contact your academic advisor to see if the ELL Portfolio Certificate is recommended for you.
Fashion Design
Build foundational skills in sewing, patterning, and draping while learning the vocabulary used in the making of fashion, clothing, and soft goods.
Fashion students entering the MFA in Fashion Collection + Communication, particularly those with little to no sewing or clothing construction experience, are highly encouraged to take the Fashion Design Primer. This is a non-credit preparatory course intended to facilitate a smooth transition into the major. Admitted graduate students from other majors are welcome to enroll with departmental approval.
