Pratt’s School of Design
We believe that design at its best is a force for good: it connects, enables, sustains, empowers, and humanizes. Across our programs, we explore the expansiveness of this idea. Students here design messages, objects, spaces, and systems, and discover the power of your practice—to creatively change the world we inhabit and the world at large.
More about the School of Design
Making and Learning
The design studio is at the core of your educational experience at Pratt. We consider the design studio a creative space and a community. The culture of the design studio is one of creativity, experimentation, and exploration. Students together with faculty are encouraged to take risks and to push the boundaries of what is possible. The studio then becomes a community to find support, encouragement, and inspiration.
Maker Spaces and Labs
Sustainability and material exploration drive our passion for making. We are hands-on and immersive; any student of design can discover, iterate and refine their investigations through our many labs.
Learning Resources
We develop disciplinary fluency in our program of study and we celebrate the interdisciplinary nature of design critical to address the plurality and complexity of the environments in which we operate.
