Pratt Institute's Summer Certificate Program (SCP) is designed to combine academic work with a rich, fun environment that expands students' skills and knowledge of art and design. The SCP helps incoming graduate and undergraduate students prepare for life in New York City as well as academic work in a North American art and design college. The eight-week session combines intensive training in language and academic skills with experiential learning, including visits to many of New York's cultural attractions. SCP students will adapt to the challenges of student life at Pratt while sharpening their language and academic skills through research, writing, presentations, and creative projects under the guidance of a studio mentor.
