Master of Fine Arts in Communications Design

Pratt Institute

Communication Design is a powerful tool to shape culture. Our vibrant learning community fosters leadership skills as, together, we explore, redefine, and innovate. Our curriculum combines critical cultural observation with emerging technologies to develop your own design process and establish yourself as a cultural actor. Our terminal MFA degree program sits at the intersection of visual language, cultural criticism, and media studies. We prepare creatives to be confident, independent practitioners who are strategic technology users, innovative researchers, writers, pedagogues, and ultimately leaders in the communication design professions. Our students gain interdisciplinary knowledge that supports critical discourse and the development of a significant body of work characterized by experimentation, creativity, resiliency and include non-dominant ways of knowing, thinking, and doing.
