School of art - the school of art at mwpai is comprised of two divisions: the prattmwp college program and the community arts program. The prattmwp program is an affiliate program with pratt institute in brooklyn, ny in which students pursuing a bachelor of fine arts degree spend their freshman and sophomore years at our utica campus, and then complete their junior and senior years at the pratt campus in brooklyn. The affiliation is in its twelfth year and continues to grow.in the 2011-2012 academic year, prattmwp's enrollment consisted of 93 freshmen and 57 sophomore full-time students. Of the approximately 150 full-time students, 136 students are living in one of our three residential halls. Our incoming freshman class has students representating 15 states and six countries.as part of its recruitment activities, prattmwp sends admission counselors throughout the country to recruit high caliber art students onto our campus. Prattmwp also hosts an overnight program during its academic year allowing students to spend the night with a prattmwp student, attend classes, and participate in student activities.prattmwp's easton pribble lecture series presents six prominent artists annually to speak about their artistic careers to the student body. Artists from varied disciplines provide a valuable insight to the students by sharing their aesthetic concepts, as well as career and life choices. All lectures are free and open to the public.the school of art's community arts education program attracted over 1,200 students throughout the 2011-2012 year in classes that ranged from children's dance and art with students as young as four years old, to adult classes in a variety of dance and art offerings.
