Continuing Education Instructors (71114)

The School of Continuing and Professional Studies at Pratt Institute (SCPS) is creating a pool of applicants for part-time, non-credit instructor appointments for upcoming semesters. SCPS offers a broad array of professional development non-credit courses, workshops and certificate programs in areas art, design and architecture. Our full catalogue of current course offerings can be found at pratt.edu/scps . Classes and workshops vary in length from one day workshops to full semester courses.
The SCPS program seeks to maintain a robust pool of instructors by accepting applications from new instructors to teach established non-credit courses and workshops. Proposals for new courses centered around the instructor's area of expertise are also welcome. Non-credit instructors are expected to develop their own syllabi and participate in curriculum development meetings to ensure that their classes fit cohesively into the larger program structure.
Devoted to a creative learning community, Pratt recognizes the strength that stems from a diversity of perspectives, ideas, backgrounds, approaches, and experiences. We aspire to continue to grow as a place that always welcomes and encourages individuals of all backgrounds to contribute to and be part of the Pratt culture.
