Expert instruction on your schedule

The same dedicated full-time SCAD professors who teach at on-ground locations lead the majority of SCADnow online courses. These accomplished professors at the top of their fields are complemented by stellar adjunct faculty as appropriate; no courses are taught by graduate assistants or interns.

"SCAD was transformative. It taught me the value of hard work, time management, and integrity. Each facet, from peers to faculty, contributed to molding me into the designer I am today."

Shikha Gupta | M.A., accessory design, 2023

Access to renowned educators

The extraordinary faculty at SCAD are accomplished professionals who have refined their abilities at elite companies including CBS, DC Comics, DreamWorks, L’Oréal, Marvel, NASA, The New Yorker, Versace, and Warner Bros. The same professors teaching on-ground courses also teach SCADnow online courses. Many of these educators continue to publish, exhibit, design, and consult, sharing their expertise and connections to help students grow creatively and professionally.
