Master of Industrial Design

Pratt Institute

Industrial Design encompasses design practices that range from crafting the smallest of wearable devices to planning built environments that entertain, educate, and inform. Woven through each facet of a Pratt education are deep commitments to processes and products that heal rather than harm. Our program prepares leaders in the ever-evolving and multi-faceted field of Industrial Design. Through a rigorous curriculum, students are challenged to confront the complexities of contemporary social, political, economic, and technological transformations. Graduates gain knowledge and tools to effectively apply design processes and practices - skills to create innovative objects for the home, products for business, and built environments that positively impact everyday life, while also contributing to the repair of social and ecological systems. The MID degree is a two-year, 60-credit program for all students, regardless of their previous background. Collegiality and cohesion in each incoming group of graduate students is essential to a pro­gram that creates a learning environment where the richness of the program is enhanced by diversity, inclusion, and a strong sense of community.
