Pratt MWP

Located right in the small city of Utica, Pratt’s upstate New York campus at Munson-Williams-Proctor is for the serious art student. Everyone takes the same classes freshman year. The school offers just 3 majors; fine arts, art education, and commercial design (graphic design, illustration, advertising) and students leave after 2 years to finish their BFA at either Pratt in Brooklyn (75% do this) or another college offering the BFA. Once accepted at MWP, you are already accepted in the Brooklyn site for your junior year.
Just 150 students attend the Utica campus with 2/3 being female. 90% live on campus.

While taking a tour with the Director of Admissions, I peeked in to a painting class being taken by VHS class of ’07 grad Hillary Van Dyke-Restifo
