Per-major median earnings and 10-year projection bands. Numbers come from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard (most recent release); trajectory bands come from the life-path model run server-side with a synthetic profile.

From 2016 to 2025, 23 Pratt Institute-Main graduates earned a research doctorate, most often in education and humanities and arts.
Research doctorates (PhD, EdD and similar) only: medical, law and business degrees aren't counted. The rate divides those doctorates by the bachelor's degrees Pratt Institute-Main awarded from 2008 to 2017, allowing for the typical eight-year gap; fields with longer paths, like the humanities, read low.
