What are the graduation rates for students at Pratt Institute-Main?

Pratt's reported six-year graduation rate is 74%, while its four-year rate is 38%. These figures describe completion within different time windows for the measured entering undergraduate cohort; they are not the percentage of all current students expected to graduate on schedule.

The difference matters when budgeting. A student in a program designed to take longer than four years, or one whose coursework extends beyond the expected timetable, may be counted differently at the two checkpoints. Pratt's reported first-year retention rate is 88%, indicating the share of the measured first-time cohort that returned the following year. None of these institution-wide measures predicts an individual student's outcome or substitutes for a program-specific degree plan.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Pratt Institute-Main?

College Scorecard program-level figures offer a limited view of former students' earnings roughly one year after completing a program. Reported figures include $36,210 for design and applied arts and $29,464 for film, video, and photographic arts. The figures are not starting-salary offers, and they should not be read as what every graduate in a field earns.

Other reported one-year figures are $26,695 for fine and studio arts, $22,391 for graphic communications, and $17,728 for rhetoric and composition or writing studies. Scorecard earnings measures cover the population included in federal administrative records, rather than every Pratt graduate; available program figures can also reflect different credential levels or cohort sizes. Comparing programs requires checking those definitions and recognizing that freelance work, further study, location, and career progression may not be well captured by a single early-career measure.

Pratt's career services include individual and group counseling for undergraduates, résumé help, interview preparation, a job bank, and career events. Those are services students can use, not verified employment outcomes or a guarantee of work after graduation.
