The Delaware College of Art & Design (DCAD) is the culmination of two of America's olest and most distinguished colleges of the visual arts, Pratt Institute and the Corcoran College of Art and Design. This important new institution shares the traditions and the extraordinary resources of professionalism, experience, and expertise that have made Pratt and the Corcoran world leaders in art and design education for over a century. Just as Pratt and Corcoran alumni have been prominent among those who have set our country's creative course throughout the 20th century, so the graduates of DCAD will join the future alumni in shaping the visual arts in America as we enter the third millennium. Pratt and the Corcoran share curriculum, faculty, and resources with the college, providing one of the richest educational opportunities available in American art education today. Graduates of this two-year associate degree program may choose to enter the art and design workforce or complete a four-year BFA degree by continuing their education at Pratt in New York, or at the Corcoran in Washington, D.C.
