Neal Rohrbach (B.F.A., graphic design, 2005) wrote, "I graduated in 2005 with a B.F.A. in graphic design. I quickly moved up the ranks at every company I have worked at, thanks to my education at SCAD. The diverse and highly detailed curriculum at SCAD allowed me to not only hone my design skills, but also learn real life skills necessary to succeed in the business world. The diversity in SCAD's School of Communication Arts allowed me to learn about speaking to the world through print, Web and video. The core classes, as well as electives, allowed me to expand my interests and skills beyond design alone. I learned not only about art, but also public speaking, writing and networking. All of these traits, fine tuned through the Savannah College of Art and Design allowed me to excel in the job force and I have grown both as an individual and a businessman.

In less than 5 years after receiving my diploma, I have been promoted from graphic designer, to art director, creative director, and now have been promoted to president of marketing and sales at Outdoor Channel Outfitters. I wouldn't be where I am today without the superior education, work ethic and entrepreneurial skills instilled in me at the Savannah College of Art and Design." (updated 05/04/10)
