Rhode Island School of Design
Rhode Island School of Design was founded in 1877 in Providence, Rhode Island, established in part through the efforts of a group of women affiliated with the Rhode Island Centennial Commission who wanted to create a dedicated school combining fine arts and industrial design education. RISD built a close, formal academic relationship with neighboring Brown University, letting students at both institutions cross-register for courses, a distinctive arrangement giving RISD art and design students access to a full research university's broader liberal arts curriculum. The school has consistently ranked among the very top art and design programs in the country, with particularly strong reputations in industrial design, illustration, and architecture, and its alumni include numerous prominent working artists, designers, and creative directors across major industries. RISD's combination of its founding by 19th-century civic-minded women reformers and its unusual academic partnership with Brown University has made it one of the most highly regarded 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.
