The diverse faculty - from New York to California, Belgrade, China, India, Iran, Jamaica, Libya, South America and more - brings perspectives that inform students' understanding of design and the impact their work has on the world.Courses emphasize sustainability, environmental protection, social equity, cultural vitality and economic well-being. SCAD prepares students to solve tomorrow's creative challenges so they can change the world.
