In the intensive classes, students prepare for the experience of college while earning college credits, improving their technical skills, and developing portfolio pieces for their applications. Merit and need-based scholarships as well as The Black Alumni of Pratt Scholarships are available to students to facilitate their attendance in PreCollege.

Alongside the in-person studies, students are able to study virtually in online classes. The hybrid approach invites students from across the globe to expand their practices through the inspiring environment of Pratt and the community of their fellow students. Whether logging on from China or arriving on campus from the Bronx, they all share a drive to advance their creative interests into academic pursuits, with PreCollege supporting them in realizing those ambitions.
