The Pratt Institute of Art, studying in the United States, is a distinctive art school.

Pratt Institute, which ranks 15 in the national art ranking of school profile, is a distinctive art college, which was founded in 1887. The main campus covers an area of 25 acres and is located in Brooklyn, new york. In addition, there is a Manhattan campus in lower Manhattan. Pratt College Pratt College has many famous professional design courses, which not only teach students the concepts and concepts of design, but also teach students the concepts of market management, marketing and circulation according to the current situation, with the ultimate goal of cultivating all-round professional design talents.

Why a dark horse?

Dr. Thomas F. Shute, the current president of Pratt, once worked in Rhode Island Art College. Many parents ask him where to choose every year. Thomas replied that the two schools have their own strengths, and the Rhode Island School of Design is very famous. In America, if your children study in Rhode Island, you don't even care about Harvard and Yale. But in a word, Pratt's major is more practical and commercialized, and his interdisciplinary academic background and unparalleled resource environment in new york have established Pratt's leading position in the American art field. Even Rhode Island students take the shuttle bus to new york every week to study and get in touch with the real outside world. Rhode island is very good, but it is a bit aristocratic and limited. In contrast, Pratt & Whitney pays more attention to all-round communication and integration with society. For most students, being able to study in this college of applied arts and being familiar with new york's urban resources will undoubtedly pave the way for future work development.

Within the scope of New York State, SVA (school of visual arts), Parsons (Parsons Art Institute) and Fit are neck and neck. Among them, SVA's graphic design is better than Pratt's, Parsons' and Fit's clothing design is equal to it, and Columbia University's leading architect position in new york has gradually been replaced by it (many professors at Columbia University have transferred to Pratt). As far as the comprehensive strength of interior design, industrial design, architectural design and graphic design is concerned, Pratt is undoubtedly the most powerful and moderate one.
