Help regarding transferring

Hello, I am an international student looking to transfer into Pratt but I'm very confused about the whole process (and transferring in general)

Currently, looking at Pratt's website there's no mention of BFA transfers being open for 2025? Does this mean that no BFA transfer applications will be accepted in 2025?

I am confused as to how credits transfer exactly, are there any specific credit requirements? (Like you must have done painting or art history etc) that I need to fulfil?

For Pratt and other schools, if I am required to complete certain specific credits to join at the year I want, can I complete online or other short term courses to make up this lack? If I can do online courses, what courses are accepted by Pratt and even other institutes?

I know for international students we have to send our transcripts to WES or NACES to get it verified, I've asked them the same question as to what sort of courses will they evaluate for my application, but haven't got a reply.

Question if its worth it for me to go for Photography

Hello! I am 27 and have been thinking of going back to school for photography. But feel slightly old and not sure if it's the best choice. I have some experience, and my portfolio is kind of everywhere. Learning pn my own and building a career with no educational background feels like im walking on unstable grounds. (That could just be some self doubt) I really want to make this a career and do more with the art in my life. Is it possible to go back for this BFA? I'm already living I NYC and have to work of course, so im not sure if I can be full time. Any input or advice would be appreciated. Feel very much at a crossroads.

M.S Sustainable Environmental Systems

I am a prospective student looking into Pratt's M.S program in Sustainable Environmental Systems. To give context, I graduated from Boston University with a bachelors in Economics and a minor in Environmental analysis & policy. I am very interested in city planning, but recently have been found myself leaning more towards a sustainability-focused track(Particularly in the floodplain resilience and green infrastructure). Has anyone had experience with the S.E.S program at Pratt? It looks very cool and progressive but I'm worried it may not be very rigorous compared to other more reputable programs in the city.

Game design and Illustration?

I want to transfer out of my major and I was wondering what the majors in the title are like? I'm torn between the two. Things like what are the classes like for them? Will I have to buy a lot of things after joining? Computer specs? What do you learn in game design specifically? Just any info on the majors from someone whos already in them would be cool :)

Transfer scholarship

Hi guys! I’m planning on attending pratt for the 2025-2026 year and I’m concerned about the transfer scholarship amount. On the calculator website, it says we’re only awarded 18k maximum, split between four years. That’s quite low. Can any transfers tell me how much they received in financial aid/ scholarships.

Where did the Pratt Cats go?

Please forgive my ignorance - I did the Pratt Summer Pre-College many moons ago and distinctly remember seeing the award winning Pratt Cats in the engine room and wandering about campus. Today, I've returned as Pratt Faculty and though wowed by the renewed East Plaza renovation, am floored by the conspicuous absence of the Pratt Cats. Were they adopted/rehoused?

Transfer interested in Architecture at Pratt

Hi I'm interested in the architecture program but also was wondering if it's possible to learn about different medias such as Fashion or animation whether it's clubs or like electives I understand it's a weird question but Pratt has such a diverse set of arts and schools it'd be amazing to learn more than what is required

Indians studying at Pratt- How has your experience been?

Hi!

I'm planning to apply at the Pratt School of Information for M.S. in IXD.

I'm a 2024 B.Des graduate from NIFT. CGPA: 8.7/10 (3.5/4.0 (?))

I took a break after my graduation and now it is hard to find a job.

I'm feeling really overwhelmed while filling the application form. The process for a fee waiver went over my head. I've already started questioning whether is it even worth applying for?

I would really appreciate if a fellow Indian can candidly tell me about their experience at Pratt. I also need someone to help me with the application. I swear I wouldm't bother you much, I just need some guidance and motivation. I feel like giving up.

I know this question is a bit all over the place, but so is my state of mind right now. Thanks for bearing it.

Please help.

Thanks

Help with applying for transfer fall 2025

I'm trying to submit an application for transfer fall 2025 and this keeps on poping up even though I already filled that section. Is the website experiencing an error?

Parking

I'm planning to be a commuter student and get the parking permit to park on campus. However I read that parking is first come first served. One day I have class at 8 am and then another day at 12. I am afraid that I'm going to drive 2 hours to campus and then not be able to find parking. How often do the lots get completely full?

Thanks

Graphic Design Continuing Studies Program

Hi all,

I'm thinking about taking the continuing studies graphic design program at Pratt Institute in Manhattan and was wondering if anyone has taken it and what their experience was like?

I'm mostly curious about the course load. I'm able to multitask well and manage a heavy workload at work and while I was still in college but I want to know what it was like as I'm considering taking the classes while I stay at my job, most likely transitioning into only a part time position and was wondering if the course was manageable enough for me to keep working at my job.

Thanks!

Portfolio Fine Arts Graduate degree

Hi,

I want to apply to a Fine Arts graduate degree in January and I was wondering what I should pay attention to while creating my portfolio. I'm just wondering if I should choose 20 of my works and focus on the finished product or maybe treat them more like projects and focus on the process and basically describe it.

All answers appreciated I'm a little bit confused.
