Direct your career in film and television
Explore all things production as you make film and TV magic
From epic Hollywood blockbusters to bite-sized mobile programming, film and television of all lengths and dimensions requires timeless storytelling and a complex harmony of production and performance. With resources that rival Hollywood studios — including a 16-acre backlot, LED volume stages, soundstages, green screen studios, and other leading technology — award-winning professors, stellar signature festivals, and a talent pool that includes actors, writers, and production staff, SCAD film and television students step into the spotlight and lead their own career narratives. In one of the busiest regions for film and TV production in the world, students are immersed in all aspects of the filmmaking process as they develop the artistic and technical mastery that leads to on-set experience long before graduation.
SCAD in the spotlight
SCAD is one of The Hollywood Reporter's Best Film Schools and is also part of THR’s best schools for costume design, drama, and animation.
