Cooper Union And Pratt Transfer ADmission!!

Hi, everyone, I am a student from Taiwan, now I am a freshman in Industrial Design. However, While I am planing my future, I found that the beauty of architecture have rewritten my entire plan.

After Research, I found Cooper Union And Pratt is the DREAM school for architecture, so I tend to give it a try.

1. As a Industrial Design freshman, we will takee basic concept class in our first year. As my circumstance, which kind of way of enrollment is more feasible and possible for me to study architecture in Cooper or Pratt?

International Transfer or re-started as undergraduate international freshman ?

Email the admissions offices and ask whether you need to apply as a transfer or as a freshman. In either case they will need copies of your transcripts from your current university. Architecture usually has a very specific course sequence. Even if you are classified as a transfer student, you will probably still need to be at your new school for four years. Pratt is not cheap. Make certain that your family can pay for your studies.

Have you read the college websites? Pratt seems pretty straightforward, CU a little more complex and possibly requiring contacting them:

Pratt Institute | Admissions | Applying | Applying as an Undergraduate | Undergraduate Application Requirements | Transfer

Transfer ? Architecture | Cooper Union
