There are so many great reasons to attend, we can't cover them all here. Browse our Web site, but you really should come and visit us. Here are just a few things you will find out when you do:
Savannah, Ga.
Established in 1733, Savannah is legendary with pirates, haunts, ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss, and Southern hospitality. It is also one of the South's most global and culturally diverse cities. An ideal muse to the artistic sensibility.
Atlanta Campus
The SCAD-Atlanta location has its own unique urban personality and character. Fortune magazine ranks the city as third among "Top Cities with the Most Fortune 500 Headquarters." Students there are able to take particular advantage of internship availabilities, cultural happenings and community partnership opportunities.
A Complete University Experience
SCAD is more than just an art school! We offer everything you expect from a college:
When you enroll and/or transfer to SCAD, you will be assigned your own program adviser. When you declare a major, you are also assigned a study adviser. Our procedures make it especially easy for transfer students to continue their education, right where they left off.
Diversity
The arts and the business of art are global by nature. International students representing 100 nations make up 10 percent of our student population. A limited number of scholarships are also available to students from other countries.
Easy Credit Transfer (Cross-registration)
SCAD is a member of the Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education (ARCHE). The cross-registration process facilitates enrollment in courses offered at member institutions. Students are extended the opportunity to broaden their range of study by accessing courses not offered at their home institution.
SCAD-eLearning
You enjoy all the benefits and support our on-campus students do. In fact, our online students are winning as many awards as our on-campus students. Most courses are designed and taught by college faculty, and dedicated e-advisers are what make our SCAD-eLearning programs exceptional.
Facilities
Buildings and spaces at SCAD are meticulously maintained, and often an inspiration in and of themselves. Student equipment and software (more than enough for every student) is state-of-the-art and replaced by manufacturer agreement every three years. Wireless Internet access is available at strategic locations throughout the Savannah and Atlanta locations.
Faculty
The majority of our faculty members were professionally respected in their fields before coming to teach at SCAD. Nearly all hold terminal degrees. Their commitment to nurturing and guiding their students and their desire to collaborate offer a very special learning experience for SCAD students.
Student/Professor Ratio
Capped at 20:1, the average number of students per class is 18.
Study Abroad
Enhance your studies by immersing yourself in the culture and history of foreign lands. Whatever your major, our study abroad programs offer opportunities to earn college credit while developing a deeper understanding of the world. You can even spend an entire term at our Lacoste location in Provence, in the South of France.
