| About this School |
| The Savannah College of Art and Design (often referred to as SCAD) — founded in 1978 by Paula S. Wallace, Richard Rowan, May Poetter and Paul Poetter — is an independent, accredited and nonprofit school dedicated to the visual and performing arts, design, the building arts and the history of art and architecture. Located in the charming, historic Southern city of Savannah, Georgia, SCAD is the largest art school in the United States, offering Bachelor of Fine Arts, Master of Architecture, Master of Arts, and Master of Fine Arts degrees. The college is closely engaged with the city and the preservation, at least architecturally, of its rich heritage.
SCAD enrolls close to 7,000 students from all 50 states and nearly 80 countries. International student enrollment is quoted at 10 percent.
Degree programs include advertising design, animation, architectural history (MFA only), architecture, art history, broadcast design and motion graphics, cinema studies, fashion, fibers, film and television, furniture design, graphic design, historic preservation, illustration, illustration design (MFA only), industrial design, interactive design and game development, interior design, media and performing arts, metals and jewelry, painting, photography, production design, sequential art, sound design, urban design, and visual effects.
Minors are offered in 25 of the major programs as well as in accessory design, business management, ceramic arts, contemporary writing, cultural landscape, dance, decorative arts, drawing, electronic design, exhibition design, interaction design, marine design, museum studies, music performance, new media art, printmaking, sculpture, storyboarding and technical direction.
The college also features a study-abroad campus in the scenic town Lacoste, France. In 2005, SCAD opened a campus in Midtown, Atlanta, Georgia, called SCAD–Atlanta. Shortly after opening, the Atlanta College of Art was acquired by SCAD for merger into the Atlanta campus to help the new college campus grow and give more opportunities to SCAD students with connections to the Woodruff Arts Center and the High Museum of Art on Peachtree Street in Atlanta.
