Parsons School of Design
Parsons School of Design was founded in 1896 in New York City, and it grew over the following century into one of the most prominent fashion and design schools in the world, eventually becoming part of The New School university system in 1970. The school built an especially strong reputation in fashion design, and its notable alumni include numerous prominent American fashion designers, giving Parsons an outsized influence specifically on the American fashion industry relative to its size as an academic program. Parsons gained significant mainstream visibility through the reality television competition show "Project Runway," which for years prominently featured Parsons as the program's home institution, exposing the school's name and design philosophy to a broad general television audience beyond the fashion industry itself. Parsons School of Design's combination of its outsized influence on the American fashion design industry and its mainstream visibility through "Project Runway" has made it one of the most publicly recognized art and design schools in the country.
VS
Pratt Institute
Pratt Institute was founded in 1887 in Brooklyn, New York by industrialist Charles Pratt, originally established to provide practical, affordable technical and vocational education to working-class students, before evolving over the following century into a prominent art, design, and architecture school. The school built particularly strong reputations in architecture, industrial design, and fine arts, and its Brooklyn location has given students unusually close proximity to New York City's broader creative and design industries compared to schools located outside major urban centers. Pratt's origins as a practical vocational institution founded by a wealthy industrialist reflect a distinctly different founding philosophy than many art schools established primarily around fine arts education, and that practical design orientation has remained part of Pratt's institutional identity. Pratt Institute's combination of its founding by industrialist Charles Pratt as a practical vocational school and its later growth into a prominent architecture and design institution has made it one of the most historically distinctive art schools in the country.
