Utica, NY (09/08/2010) - Utica College and PrattMWP officials have announced an historic collaboration that will jointly benefit students at both facilities.

Presidents Todd Hutton of UC and Daniel O’Leary of Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute said effective immediately MWPAI will provide full-time UC students with full memberships free of charge. These memberships will entitle students to discounts on purchases at the MWPAI gift gallery, art education workshops, tickets to selected performing arts events, and classes at the School of Art. They will also have free access to the MWPAI art reference and music libraries, free admission to PrattMWP events, and access to seats (on a space-available basis) for bus trips to New York City galleries and museums.

In exchange, PrattMWP students will have free admission to all UC events (athletic and otherwise), use of athletic facilities, be able to participate in intramural athletic activities, and be able to take part in student clubs and organizations, although serving as officers of such organizations may be restricted.

Students can enjoy these benefits as long as they present their student ID cards through next May. This agreement is on a one-year trial, and, if well received, it may be extended.

PrattMWP is the upstate campus of Brooklyn’s renowned Pratt Institute, and offers world-class instruction on the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute campus in Utica, N.Y. PrattMWP students spend their first two years on the Utica campus and then relocate to Pratt's main campus in Brooklyn to complete their Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Students may chose from four programs, Fine Arts, Communications Design, Art and Design Education, or Photography. Tuition at the Utica campus is considerably less than most major private art colleges. In addition, the college offers generous merit and need-based scholarships. Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute is a regional fine arts center serving diverse audiences through three program divisions – Museum of Art, Performing Arts, and School of Art.

Utica College, founded in 1946, is a comprehensive private institution offering bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees. The College, located in upstate central New York, 90 miles west of Albany and 50 miles east of Syracuse, currently enrolls approximately 3,500 students in 37 undergraduate majors, 27 minors, 22 masters and two doctoral degree programs.
