This format also suits students in New York City who have to maintain their employment or other commitments. Students complete reading assignments before classes and then complete their papers before the following November, giving them a chance to integrate class experience with readings and practicum experience. Two years of practicum are done from September through May following the first and second year of summer classes. Supervision is completed through weekly phone, video and fax contacts that keep summer students continually in touch with Pratt faculty. Students also take part in cluster groups, whereby written comments are given to students, both from their supervisor and fellow students.
Housing is available on campus when courses are being held in New York City.
