About This School

Pratt Institute-Main is a private nonprofit institution located in Brooklyn, New York with approximately 3,910 undergraduate students enrolled.

Worth considering if you're serious about art and design and want an urban Brooklyn environment with real creative energy — the 89% freshman retention rate suggests students genuinely want to stay once they arrive. The financial picture deserves a hard look, though: at $50,647/year net price and median earnings of just $48,900 a decade out, you'll need a clear plan for managing costs, especially since the 73% graduation rate means roughly 1 in 4 students don't finish.
