3.) PRATT (Brooklyn, NY)

-Programs: Fashion design
-Number of Students: Total undergrads in art & design program: 2,100; Fashion: 169
-Tuition: $37,500
-Misc: Part of a larger design school, so you can combine arts studies.
-Famous Grads: Jeremy Scott, Betsey Johnson (didn’t graduate from Pratt), Andy and Debb
-The Bottom Line: Pratt has shed its image as an up-and-coming fashion design program and become a force to be reckoned with, which is why it’s jumped up in our rating. Its student shows are getting more attention lately, and are attracting such luminaries as Vogue personalities and well-known designers. It’s also one of the few design programs which offers electives in fashion editorial/magazine publishing.
