Student & Alumni Comments

"The resources and facilities are incredible. The technology, tools and equipment available to us are very substantial. The professors are knowledgeable, engaging and truly want students to succeed!"

Student

"SCAD has been an absolute dream experience. From the quality of my professors to the overall student body, everyone is uniquely talented, which makes the learning experience that much better. The material I have learned after three quarters at SCAD is more than I learned in four years during undergrad. Truly a one of a kind experience!"

Student

"I started and now run my own PR agency after finishing SCAD. The programme was great and I think the professors have the best international experience in the fashion industry. I would not choose any other college to do my MFA."

Alumni

"SCAD was a great experience. When I began graduate school, I already had a great job, however, the programme really pushed me with my research and skills. After graduating, I landed my dream job and am so thankful for my experiences at SCAD that gave me the extra edge in getting this job!"
