Continuing and Professional Studies at Pratt Brooklyn
history
The Brooklyn campus of Pratt Institute occupies 25 acres in the heart of Brooklyn's brownstone belt, only 20 minutes from downtown Manhattan, and offers a university atmosphere in an urban setting. The many resources of the Brooklyn campus, including lectures, films, labs, studios, athletic activities, and social life, are available and readily accessible to Pratt Manhattan students.
Pratt's Brooklyn campus was founded by industrialist Charles Pratt in 1887. Realizing that a rapidly industrializing society required a new approach to higher education, he founded a school dedicated to providing students with applied knowledge and specific vocational skills as well as the traditional liberal arts. The first two buildings, Main and East, on the Brooklyn campus, were completed in 1887 and housed programs in such practical subjects as mechanical drawing, wood carving, sewing, nursing, and typing.
True to Charles Pratt's vision the school has always moved forward with the times. Pratt was one of the first schools to recognize the need for advertising design as a specific academic discipline. In 1935 the Art School set up the Department of Advertising Design, forerunner of the current Communications Design programs. In 1936 the Industrial Design Department was founded, making Pratt a pioneer in establishing this new profession. In 1946 Pratt created its Interior Design Department, replacing traditio nal interior decoration courses with a truly professional curriculum.
Liberty Partnerships
The Liberty Partnerships Program is a New York State Education Department funded and collaborative initiative with Pratt Institute. It is conceived to provide remedial and tutorial services in the basics of reading, fundamental mathematics and computer operations, to school-age children, in grades 5 through 12. LPP at Pratt Brooklyn currently services children in grades 5 through 8 who:
- are struggling with reading and math
- need to improve scores on standardized tests
- lack basic computer operation skills
- need to substantially improve grades in school
- and/or are overage for the 5th and 6th grades.
