Pratt also offers instruction at the

introductory level in Italian, Spanish,

German, French, and Chinese.

Students for whom a language is a

program requirement have a priority in

registration. Other students may select six

credits in a single language for liberal arts

elective credit.

The School of Liberal Arts and

Sciences also provides English language

support for international students in the

Intensive, full-time Certificate of English

Proficiency, and summer certificate

Programs (IEP, CEP, and SCP). The

courses in these programs help students to

prepare for academic and studio courses

by incorporating elements of literature, as

well as critical theories and examinations

of the visual arts. The SCP is strongly

recommended for students whose TOEFL

score is below 600 (PbT). Students who

complete the SCP program are not

required to take the placement exam.

Our Liberal Arts and Sciences

faculty members are creative writers,

composers, and performers, as well as

scholars, critics, and scientists. They help

students find meaning in the traditional
