Students who relocate to Pratt Institute from Pratt Munson are regarded as continuing Pratt students, not transfer students. It is essential to note that Pratt Munson students must complete the full curriculum at the Utica campus with a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA and at least 54 credits, including all studio courses, before relocating to the Brooklyn campus. Once these requirements are met, students simply express their interest in continuing their education at Pratt's main campus in Brooklyn. No additional application is necessary for relocation, ensuring a seamless transition for students in good academic standing.
During their final semester at Pratt Munson, students receive comprehensive support from the financial aid, registrar, and advising offices at both Pratt Institute and Pratt Munson to prepare for their junior year in Brooklyn. This includes securing housing, financial aid, and registering for classes.
Students are assessed for scholarships to Pratt Institute's Brooklyn campus based on their cumulative GPA at the end of their sophomore year at Pratt Munson. To be eligible for a relocation scholarship when moving to Brooklyn, students must maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA and continue to uphold this standard while at Pratt Munson.
Should Pratt Munson students decide to change their major upon relocating to Pratt, they must submit a request to the Pratt Munson Registrar. While acceptance into a different program at Pratt is not guaranteed, every effort is made to accommodate students' preferences. Depending on the program's requirements, students may need additional time to complete their BFA degree, with fashion or architecture majors potentially requiring two to three extra years due to the specialized nature of these fields. It's important to note that architecture is a five-year program.
