Savannah

Students choose their own creative adventure at SCAD Savannah, where more than 100 degree programs provide a future-forward curriculum woven throughout cuttingedge advanced learning environments in this historic city.

SCAD students find their hive in the most distinctive built environment in higher education —with nearly 70 artfilled, high-technology buildings and residence halls, including approximately 60 revitalized historic properties where contemporary resources meet preservation design.

The next wave of design leaders study in storied buildings that house programs and unmatched resources like SCADpro, the university's creative research and innovation design studio. At SCADpro, top companies like Google, BMW, HP, Target, and more tap SCAD students to find their next big idea.

The award-winning SCAD Museum of Art, once the headquarters of the Central of Georgia Railway, fuels inspiration and welcomes today’s great minds at major art-world events like SCAD deFINE ART. The university's new XR stage and Hollywood-style backlot expansion of Savannah Film Studios includes 11 acres of tree-lined streetscapes, a town square, a hospital façade, and a fabrication space for props, sets, costumes, and more.

From the historic district to Tybee Island’s sunny shore (just a short drive from downtown), the SCAD imprint is evident across this coastal city, as a cadre of alumni-owned businesses—from architecture and design firms to galleries and boutiques to cafés and restaurants—elevate the allure of this storybook Southern locale. At SCAD’s festivals and grand celebrations —including the SCAD Savannah Film Festival, the largest university-run film festival in the world, SCADstyle, SCAD FASHION, and more—students take the stage, connect with VIPs and peers, and launch their careers.

SCAD amenities like Pool at The Hive make Savannah feel like home.

The Savannah College of Art and Design has provided the cultural heartbeat of the city since 1978. Scattered across Savannah's historic center, the school's buildings are works of art in themselves.
