The Collaborative Learning Center works with partners and professors to provide students with such experience through courses, group projects and university-wide programs.

SCAD seeks a diverse range of collaborative projects with partners that represent best-in-class professional practices.

We encourage proposals that challenge students, faculty and partners to utilize established and emerging approaches in their respective creative and cultural industries.
