SCAD provides students the flexibility to pursue their interests while gaining knowledge and expertise in a specific discipline. SCAD undergraduate students choose from more than 40 degree programs and nearly 60 minors to customize an unparalleled art and design education that suits their individual needs and talents. Students across all academic programs benefit from small class sizes, one-on-one professor and peer interaction, professors with extensive industry experience and interaction with visiting lecturers from the field.

Exceptions to the general rules of admission may be made for applicants of unusual motivation and ability. Application materials cannot be returned.

All applicants may submit supporting materials such as portfolio, recommendations, statement of purpose and/or may interview to enhance their application file. Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.

Congratulations on completing the application for admission! Students typically receive their SCAD admission decisions within 2-4 weeks of the file being completed for review.
