Embarking on my Master's journey at Pratt Institute signifies an important step in my ongoing pursuit of architectural excellence. With a Bachelor's in Architecture under my belt, I've chosen Pratt as the next chapter in my quest to deepen my knowledge and broaden my skill set.
Throughout my undergraduate years, I encountered challenges that tested my resilience and dedication, yet also provided valuable learning opportunities. Winning two architectural awards was certainly a highlight, but it's the continuous pursuit of growth that truly drives me forward. Pratt Institute offers the perfect environment to expand my horizons and explore new avenues within the field.
Every obstacle I've faced as a student has helped me refine my skills and develop a stronger sense of determination. As I stand on the threshold of my Master's program, I'm excited to build upon this foundation and take my craft to new heights.
With Pratt Institute as my chosen platform for growth, I'm eager to collaborate with peers, learn from experienced faculty, and contribute meaningfully to the field of architecture. My goal is not to boast of past achievements, but rather to humbly embrace the opportunities ahead and strive for continuous improvement.

Transforming architectural mediums, contexts, and research, this program trains you to become a leader in the professional practice of architecture with substantive methods of design and inquiry.
Design is approached as an integrated discipline and established throughout the curriculum paying special attention to linkages across categories of knowledge and action.
Design is a cultural act. Given the breadth and depth of contemporary culture, students and faculty are expected to participate fully within global culture and design culture specifically.
Professionalism involves the innovative and evolving relationships between theory and practice. Innovation extends to all forms of technology, computation, fabrication, communication, and theory.
Design research generates new forms of knowledge emergent with contemporary culture's environmental, ethical, technological, political, and professional situation.
Industrial and natural ecologies are addressed beyond the boundaries of each, where they merge and exceed the anachronistic bounds of sustainability.

Anthropology is the scientific study of the human species, both past, and present. Anthropologists seek to answer the fundamental questions about human nature. Including answering questions about dynamic relationships between humans and the world in which we live, our development, our social relationships, our connection to the environment, and the ways we plan for the future.
The Anthropology program encourages the development of skills needed for today’s workforce, including critical thinking, research methods, quantitative analysis and interpretation, writing, and cross-cultural communication. Anthropology graduates from Boise State have successfully pursued careers in law, education, public health, business, cultural and natural resource management, social work, community development, planning, and professional anthropology. With a focus on archaeological coursework and field school, anthropology graduates have successfully found positions with state and federal government organizations and private consulting firms.
