“Explore new ideas. Boldly create where others have yet to imagine.”
Pratt SCPS Special Topics and Workshops offer short, focused learning experiences at the crossroads of art, design, business, and innovation. These courses help curious, experimental, and forward-thinking learners expand their creative practice and apply new methods shaping the future of design and culture.
