Established in 1978, the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) positions itself as the University for Creative Careers, a claim substantiated by the evident success of its graduates.
SCAD provides creative students with an outstanding, professionally based education. It’s great for builders, artists, storytellers, and designers looking to illuminate.
SCAD offers programs in over 40 creative disciplines ranging from fashion and jewelry design to film and TV to architecture to equestrian studies.
The equestrian facilities are vast and located about 15 minutes outside of downtown Savannah.
Students are a mix of artsy, creative, friendly, professional, and focused. 24% of the student body is international.
SCAD does not require a portfolio, but students who cannot cut it, will often leave. Retention rate is roughly 80%.
SCAD has four physical locations (Savannah, Atlanta, Hong Kong, and LaCoste, France) and an ELearning platform with 14,000 students worldwide.
