Duke's Pratt School of Engineering is one of two undergraduate schools at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, United States. The other is the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences. It is also one of ten graduate and professional schools at Duke.
Pratt awards undergraduate degrees in biomedical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, electrical and computer engineering, and mechanical engineering and materials science. A Master of Engineering Management degree and a Master of Engineering degree are also offered. The degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy are awarded by the Duke Graduate School for all four departments.
As of the fall 2016 semester, Pratt's student body consists of 1,234 undergraduates and 976 graduate students, taught by a faculty of 130.
The majority of Pratt's faculty, labs, and courses can be found in Hudson Hall, the Nello L. Teer Building, the Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences (also known as FCIEMAS), the North Building and the Levine Science Research Center (also known as the LSRC).
In 2006, the Pratt School's graduate program was ranked as the second best engineering graduate program in the country by The Princeton Review.
Until 2007, Kristina M. Johnson was the dean of Pratt, becoming the first woman to hold the position in 1999. After Johnson left to become the provost of Johns Hopkins University, Robert L. Clark became dean pending a national search for Johnson's replacement.
