Student & Alumni Comments
"SCAD was all about collaboration across majors. Because of this, we had the opportunity to get our hands into various industries. We created truly unique products by putting our heads together."
"Great collaboration between professors and students. Classes are small and leave space for one-on-one instruction and help. Studio classes are Monday through Thursday, which is very helpful in a creative environment. Great facilities in a wonderful city."
"The location, though not a fashion capital like New York, provided charm and clarity while working through my programme. I was able to focus and appreciate my goals, my fellow classmates, my craft, my teachers and so on. I feel my education and SCAD was exactly what I needed, to foster and hone my skills as a designer at the current stage of my life while in school."
