How good are the Associates Programs in Pratt Institute NY?

I'm thinking of getting my 2nd degree. I already have a BA in History and I want to take painting or illustration but I don't think that I need another Bachelor's (also to reduce costs). I'm thinking of getting a 2-year Associates degree in art instead. Pratt Institute caught my attention but the tuition is expensive. Is it any better than the Associates offered in other schools like community colleges? I'm thinking there must be something there that justifies the cost of the program.
