Hong Kong is a place where Eastern and Western cultures meet. You can see modern architecture, local markets, historic sites and new buildings. This coexistence leads to cultural exchange.

views, Hong Kong welcomes curious travelers from across the world. The vibrant island city thrives as a global capital of entertainment, digital media, fashion and design. A short airplane ride from Shanghai, Tokyo, Bangkok, Seoul, Jakarta, Singapore and more, Hong Kong’s creative scene is spread across the region and provides the perfect backdrop for students’ professional journeys. At SCAD Hong Kong, students bask in the city’s aura. SCAD students participate in the area’s biggest and brightest cultural events, from Art Basel Hong Kong and Art Central Hong Kong to the Hong Kong International Film Festival and SIGGRAPH Asia. SCAD Hong Kong is an integral part of this lineup, from its presentation of the highly anticipated SCAD Hong Kong Fashion Showcase, a launching pad for new designers that attracts giants from Chanel, DKNY, Polo Ralph Lauren, Shanghai Tang and SpyHenryLau, to its sponsorship of Creative Mornings, a monthly breakfast lecture series that fosters mentorship with innovative thinkers. Collaborations with multinational companies and organizations, including PricewaterhouseCoopers, UNICEF and The Ritz-Carlton hotels, empower students to make their mark on the city’s abundant forward-looking industries, from advertising and fashion to film and entertainment. SCAD Hong Kong students and professors work within the UNESCOaward-winning former North Kowloon Magistracy Building, a grand midcentury courthouse wholly restored by the university. Within a local landmark infused with new life, students enjoy access to hightech digital labs, darkrooms, fashion and interior design resource labs, a green screen studio, a robust SCAD library and Moot, a lounge, café and gallery where collaboration and creativity bloom. In the historic Sham Shui Po district, the fusion of ancient heritage and contemporary influence inspires and ignites inventive minds. Tropical island vistas offer respite from urban life, from aboard the Star Ferry to atop Victoria Peak, on strolls around the glittering harbor or hikes on mountainous trails. Whether studying in Hong Kong for a single quarter or throughout their degree programs, SCAD students are perfectly at home in Asia’s World City.

where desirable careers call for imaginative and critical thinking, storytelling, problem-solving and design innovation, as well as polished ideation, presentation and communication skills. Offering the most diverse and comprehensive array of degree programs of any art and design university, SCAD allows students the freedom to do it all: explore more than 40 art and design disciplines, study at extraordinary locations around the world and gain invaluable professional experience before graduation. SCAD prepares students to excel in their chosen careers, but first SCAD prepares them to excel at the university. Newly enrolled SCAD students may embark on a cultural-enrichment experience in SCAD Lacoste with Pre-Bee: Tour de France. A weeklong program held prior to fall quarter, Pre-Bee invites participants to live and learn in the university’s breathtaking residence halls and academic buildings, explore Provence and Paris through local excursions, and engage in drawing and design workshops as an introduction to the university’s academic environment. Students are welcomed at SCAD from day one through the required First Year Experience (FYE) course, designed to aid in the transition to college life and prepare participants for academic success. The FYE course covers university policies and support services, as well as major, minor and career options. Each student also has dedicated professional advisers who help with course sequencing, registration, internships and awards. SCAD Core, nexus of the undergraduate experience, cultivates highly capable students who are prepared to thrive in the professional realm. A thoughtfully curated series of foundation studies, general education and liberal arts courses, SCAD Core lays the groundwork for students to succeed in the university’s rigorous degree programs. And because undergraduate courses are never led by teaching assistants, every SCAD student receives individual attention from acclaimed, experienced and credentialed professors.

SCAD.EDU / GRADUATE

GRADUATE STUDIES SCAD empowers graduate students to step into powerful roles at international companies, launch entrepreneurial endeavors, and become masters of art, design and the written word. Through award-winning degree programs, small class sizes and professionally connected faculty, SCAD graduate students realize their highest aspirations. The university’s graduate degree programs emphasize research and analysis alongside studio creation and fieldwork, engendering a holistic, integrated understanding of students’ chosen disciplines. Peer and individual critiques and seminar discussions provide forums for the development of a creative-critical framework. Students may select electives that reflect their interests and enable them to delve into related disciplines for inspiration and diverse perspectives. Each program culminates in a final project or thesis, a pinnacle of the graduate experience that may include traditional scholarly research, a body of work, exhibitions and more. Recent pursuits range from an in-depth analysis of augmented reality in wearable technology to a proposal for interior design in schools that improves the educational and social performance of children with learning disabilities to an exploration of the role of service design in marketing space tourism. These academic quests often develop into specialized career tracks — and lead to groundbreaking exposure in the realms of contemporary art, avant-garde design and au courant technology. SCAD graduate students gain a highly evolved analytical and practical understanding of their areas of focus and are poised to become visionary leaders in their chosen professions.

The exposure to artists, designers and great companies I’ve gained at SCAD has helped me achieve my career goals. It’s amazing the connections we can make with professionals who come to SCAD. WENDY EDUARTE

The university welcomes students to this inviting fellowship of artists and designers — a home away from home — with programs and resources developed specifically for international members of the SCAD family. International students may begin their SCAD journeys through the SCAD Cultural and Academic Preparation Program (CAPP), a four-week pre-orientation summer program that provides a bridge to university life. Through activities and instruction, SCAD CAPP participants forge bonds, explore student involvement opportunities, gain an understanding of cultural dynamics before fall classes begin and prepare to excel in advanced coursework. The university’s dedicated International Student Services Office (ISSO) works exclusively with international students before and during their time at SCAD. Through a focused orientation session coordinated by ISSO, new international students learn about academics, university life, cross-cultural topics, housing, safety, immigration, travel and more before beginning their studies.

SCAD students receive individual attention and work side by side with these highly accomplished educators in small classroom settings.

Housing a remarkable collection of treasured and important works by major artists, with media and subject matter ranging from painting and photography to fashion and film, SCAD museums and galleries serve as testaments to the university’s dedication to culture, art and education.

SCAD MUSEUM OF ART The SCAD Museum of Art invites students to engage in a lively mix of academic classes and career workshops, lectures, film screenings, gallery talks and events. Introducing new exhibitions every academic quarter, the museum showcases work by a range of highly acclaimed international artists as well as curated couture exhibitions, inspiring and challenging students to push the boundaries of their creative practice. A work of art in and of itself, the museum incorporates the oldest surviving antebellum railroad depot in the U.S. into its striking contemporary design. The museum has been recognized by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, the Congress for the New Urbanism,

SCAD FASH MUSEUM OF FASHION + FILM Cinema and high style reign supreme in Atlanta, where students and members of the public enjoy access to SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film. SCAD FASH celebrates fashion as a universal language, garments as important conduits of identity, and film as an immersive and memorable medium. Voted “Atlanta’s Best Museum” by readers of The Atlantan and lauded by Vogue, W magazine and Vanity Fair, SCAD FASH engages in education, research, and programming, including gallery shows and commissioned film screenings. Recent exhibitions include Oscar de la Renta, Daniel Lismore’s Be Yourself; Everyone Else Is Already Taken, Grand Divertissement à Versailles, Vintage Photographs by Bill Cunningham, Shoes: Pleasure and Pain, organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and Refined Irreverence, the first solo museum exhibition celebrating the work of Carolina Herrera, also presented at the SCAD Museum of Art.

SCAD is an amazing university because it encourages students to design their own careers and express their own visions. As a continuation of this mission, I am confident that SCAD FASH will inspire students, and all those who visit, to inspire others in turn. It’s all about creating that cycle of empowerment. DIANE VON FURSTENBERG Designer

Fortified by the university’s international presence and connections to renowned contemporary fashion designers, filmmakers and creative professionals all over the world, SCAD FASH is an integral part of the SCAD educational experience.

GLOBAL GALLERIES In galleries across locations, the university’s electrifying exhibitions showcase the works of students, alumni and faculty as well as contemporary groundbreaking artists, and receive praise and press from such diverse, influential media outlets as Art in America, Artforum, CNN, Forbes, The Guardian, The Huffington Post, The New York Times and W magazine.

TECHNOLOGY AND TOOLS Across three continents and online, SCAD curates custom technology at the cutting edge with the singular goal of providing students with everything they need to master their talents. Educational resources in every discipline — a virtual reality and augmented reality lab, green screens, Ultra HD (4K) cameras, Cintiq drawing screens, CNC mill and routers, an injection molding machine, Wacom Cintiq displays, 3-D printers, a large-format flatbed UV printer, Foley soundstages, fully equipped HD television studios, a Jacquard loom, laser cutters, a state-of-the-art sculpture foundry and two Vicon motion capture studios — help SCAD students traverse their areas of study and push the limits of their practice. At SCAD campus locations in North America, Europe and Asia, students find their niches as they experiment with the same professional instruments and technologies they will soon use in the workplace. The university’s amenities include physical computing labs, state-ofthe-art Mac and high-end PC workstation labs with cinematic displays and industry-standard applications in every program. Additionally, all students are provided with full access to Adobe Creative Cloud Complete and Microsoft Office 365 for use on their own computers. Creative inspiration and career preparation abound in every department and in every location, from the rare opportunity to become Media Composer and Pro Tools certified before graduating to producing ABS and polycarbonate 3-D models. In photography, students expose and process RA-4 photographic materials using powerful high-resolution printers, including a Chromira ProLab printer or on a variety of inkjet printers. SCAD entertainment arts and digital media degree programs benefit from professional equipment, including the Steadicam Shadow, Panther Evo Plus and Fisher dollies, Techno-Jib, six chroma key green screen studios, a Dolby Surround 7.1 sound mixing suite and two Icon D-Command recording studios.

SCAD student organizations and clubs, including Event Design Club, Gamers Guild, Multicultural Alliance Theater, SCAD Radio and more

At SCAD, students enjoy as many opportunities to excel beyond the classrooms as they do inside them. The university promotes activities that foster leadership, social responsibility, and health and wellness, and supports uplifting, positive and balanced lifestyles. Diverse student clubs and organizations encourage students to meet others with common interests — from improv comedy to mixed martial arts. Universitysponsored study trips offer students the chance to explore the world outside their disciplines. SCAD also sponsors student groups affiliated with professional organizations, community service programs and clubs related to academic departments. The university’s many leadership-oriented student groups include the Student Activities Council, United Student Forum, and award-winning student media and internet radio stations. These cocurricular opportunities support students’ success and provide a competitive edge in their careers. The university offers support resources to maximize students’ time and safety, including the Bee Line bus system and transit visualization software. Accessible through any wireless device, the system tracks the university’s buses in real time, which allows students to promptly and safely reach their destinations. SCAD provides the university community with the LiveSafe app, which connects students to safety personnel, alerts, and information when they’re out and about. SCAD is also the first university to partner with Uber to supplement its SafeRide program, a late-night shuttle service for students requiring transportation from academic buildings. Additional resources include round-the-clock security officers and professional counseling staff who address student concerns or emergencies. Specialists versed in a variety of learning styles and counseling needs are available to help students adjust to university life and reach personal and professional goals.

A SCAD parent recently described SCAD as full of â&#x20AC;&#x153;high technology, warm people, and good vibes.â&#x20AC;? When I created SCAD nearly 40 years ago, I envisioned just such a magical place, where human kindness, technological innovation, and joyful collaboration merge in a wonderland of delight, learning, and achievement. With a 98 percent alumni employment rate* for two years in a row, that vision is a reality. At SCAD, dreams do come true. What makes SCAD magical? It is the bright hope of our students, the faith and trust of our parents, the attention of our professors, the energy and ambition of our staff, the boundless success of SCAD alumni. It is the professionally oriented degree programs illuminated throughout this SCAD catalog. It is the positive, intentional focus of SCAD. It is you. As we approach our 40th anniversary, SCAD is known around the world as the preeminent source of knowledge in every discipline we teach, the preeminent university for professional, creative careers. SCAD Bees are best. Come join us,

the forefront of this competitive sector of fashion. They engage in every facet of accessory design and learn the manifold processes to produce distinctive collections. From sewing technology to computeraided design, students master high-end tools and hone their personal aesthetic. While sharpening design and patternmaking techniques, they experiment and become proficient with industrial sewing machines, men’s and women’s shoe lasts, skiving machines and CAD software. These resources and many more are found in Eckburg Hall, where students fuel their imaginations with collaborations across the School of Fashion and beyond, and in SCADlab, a one-of-a-kind digital fabrication lab where designs and 3-D prototypes are brought to life.

SCAD.EDU / ADVERTISING

ADVERTISING The revolution is here. Advertising has changed more in the last five years than in the last five decades, and elite art directors, copywriters, and advertising and branding professionals lead the charge. Today’s designers and writers create dynamic stories that evolve through strategic social engagement. How should companies communicate differently on Twitter and Instagram? How can emerging technologies and growing social platforms reveal new dimensions of familiar brands? At SCAD, students ask these questions and more, expanding the definition of what it means to work in advertising. They adopt a modern approach that taps into the 21st century’s diversified distribution of content, and they do so with lightspeed imagination under the

Undergraduate students pursue software specializations and related minors, like copywriting and marketing for mobile and interactive environments, to gain a competitive edge. Through advanced coursework, graduate students strengthen conceptual and digital production skills that culminate in a holistic branding experience. High-energy, productive collaborations with peers in branded entertainment, film and television, graphic design, illustration, interactive design and game development, photography, writing and more allow advertising students to experience a model of teamwork common in the field. Real-world design challenges complement classroom and studio experiences, as students regularly participate in professional events such as Cannes Young Lions and The One Club’s annual Young Ones Brief Competition and Young Ones Portfolio Competition. Students and alumni take top honors in national and international competitions, including the prestigious ADDY and Student Emmy awards, Red Dot Communication Design Awards and Applied Arts Student Awards, and contribute to the campaigns of household names and brands, including Apple, Disney, Google, Hulu and multiple Procter & Gamble product lines.

When recruiting, I always look for résumés that have SCAD on them. The program really prepares them well. Their presentations are very professional, the work is high quality, it incorporates UX design, graphic design and digital design, and it is what we are looking for. RITA GROTTE

SCAD.EDU / ARCHITECTURAL-HISTORY

ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY Architectural historians go beyond the façade of history to investigate authenticity within the spaces in which people work, play and dwell. They uncover, analyze and interpret the past to foster understanding of the diverse human experience and to help safeguard the future of cities, towns, rural structures and cultural landscapes that express a shared global heritage. SCAD offers the highly valued, rarely found undergraduate and graduate architectural history degrees, and there is no better place to dive into the discipline than in Savannah, one of the nation’s best preserved and most praised historic urban landscapes. Amid the rich variety of high-style and vernacular architecture, SCAD architectural history students learn from professors who possess a breadth of knowledge and expertise in all major historical periods in Western and global traditions. Faculty members are widely published, actively engaged in professional societies and local boards, and regularly tapped to deliver papers and presentations at conferences all over the world. Students are encouraged to make international travel a part of their academic experience with

study in the medieval village of Lacoste, France, and the metropolises of Atlanta and Hong Kong. At both the undergraduate and graduate levels, the study of architectural history includes architecture, urbanism and landscape, and addresses issues of globalism, environmentalism, social processes and the role of politics. Innovative courses investigate virtual environments, representations of cities in modern media, building cultures and the economics of urban conditions. Undergraduate students learn the characteristics of the built environment and the principles and practices of architectural design, and hone public speaking skills. They study advanced methods employed in the creation and utilization of constructed environments, a process driven and informed by field drawing, 3-D computer modeling, photographic documentation and applied preservation practices. Graduate students explore the intricacies of architectural history, conduct advanced research and analysis, and gain valuable professional experience through internships and in-depth assignments. Graduates are prepared for careers with government agencies, design and cultural resource management firms and foundations, and for doctoral programs and careers in academia.

SCAD gave me the tools I needed to understand context within the built environment, to better evaluate places worthy of physical preservation and to broaden my perspectives on significance. I was able to tailor my ideal learning experience through a full slate of applied and academic learning.

design buildings that add beauty to the world and uplift human lives. SCAD offers a preprofessional B.F.A. degree in architecture and a professional M.Arch. degree, which is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). NAAB, whose meticulous accreditation standards are accepted and in many cases required by state registration boards, awarded the SCAD M.Arch. program a maximum eight-year term of accreditation. SCAD is proud to offer the Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure, accepted by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB). SCAD was selected by NCARB for this rigorous academic track, which prepares students for professional architectural licensure in as few as seven years. The accelerated program enhances preparation for licensure through a concurrent approach to education, experience and examination. The university’s global locations allow architecture students to gain a keen awareness of how rural, urban and cultural contexts drive design. Students explore the bustling, ever-evolving cityscape of Atlanta; absorb both the ancient Chinese architecture and the ultramodern structures of Hong Kong; and observe the European influence across multiple centuries in Lacoste, France. In Savannah, students thrive amid one of the most celebrated urban plans in the world, inspired by a diverse backdrop of historic and contemporary architecture. Eichberg Hall, a Savannah building constructed in 1887 for the Central of Georgia Railway and given new life nearly 100 years later by SCAD, serves as one of several award-winning university locations for the study of building arts. In 2016, the American Institute of Architects presented SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace with the Roger Milliken Legacy Award for her commitment to improving Savannah and the world through design and innovation.

SCAD taught me to fine-tune what comes along with curating — the networking, the relationships, the attentiveness needed to host and engage with an artist. I became very artist-centric and I highly value that throughout my career.

BRANDED ENTERTAINMENT Branded entertainment professionals unite the magic of storytelling with brand marketing to build meaningful relationships between consumers and brands. Through the power of branded entertainment, beloved and well-known brands take on new life in films, television, social media, live performance and daring feats of imagination. Think Felix Baumgartner’s recordbreaking space jump to Earth in a collaboration with Red Bull and GoPro — both a compelling moment and a marketing coup, as well as a historic statement of human endurance. Other recent triumphs include the Share a Coke campaign, the Bud Light x Lady Gaga Dive Bar Tour, and the collaboration between toy manufacturer Lego and Warner Animation Group to extend the Lego brand into The Lego Movie, The Lego Batman Movie and additional feature films in development.

in response to the exponential demand for immersive experiences across multimedia platforms. In this fast-developing field, professionals partner with companies to create custom content that leaves a lasting impression and converts consumers into enthusiastic brand ambassadors. From films, TV shows and 3-D productions to viral videos and mobile apps, today’s businesses capture global attention as they connect with audiences through shared cultural moments. One especially promising area of branded entertainment is virtual reality, which SCAD students explore and master through coursework and a full complement of VR cameras and related technology. SCAD branded entertainment students choose one of three concentrations: television producing, game development or interactive design, which primes them for careers at the intersection of advertising, entertainment and technology. In 2017, SCAD branded entertainment students collaborated with Spanx to create new brand strategies for the fashion company, and SCAD alumni work in branded entertainment roles at Porsche, Imagine Media Consulting, The DVI Group, Mojo Productions, Saatchi & Saatchi, Leo Burnett, SapientRazorfish, Digital Kitchen and many other global advertising, branding and marketing firms.

CINEMA STUDIES Movies do more than tell stories: They describe the human condition, articulate philosophy, and serve as important sociological and historical artifacts. Cinema studies professionals explore the rich traditions and theories of filmmaking as they contribute to the analysis of filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past and the language of a virtual reality future. The M.A. degree program invites students to investigate every aspect of cinema, from early technological advancements to the social transformations it has shaped over the last 125 years. Students acquire an informed understanding of the history of film and are prepared to thrive in a wide range of arts and entertainment careers. Coursework emphasizes analytical attention to social, cultural and political influences on cinema, addressing everything from literary films to world cinema. The curriculum highlights important movements in filmmaking and encourages students to examine developments and genres across time, along with the principles and philosophies behind the art of the cinematic narrative. Graduate seminars take students from page to screen and back again as students conduct focused inquiries that synthesize and shed new light on published scholarship. As they research and establish original interpretations, they also have the opportunity to write and edit for the scholarly online journal Cine-Files. Electives include courses in acting, animation, anthropology, art history, business design and arts leadership, film production, visual effects, writing and complementary areas that contribute to a deep understanding of the discipline. As part of the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cinematic community, SCAD cinema studies students collaborate with peers in majors across the spectrum, from performing arts to production design, as they enhance their professional narratives within the perfect setting: the moviemaking hub of Savannah.

that yield creative, comprehensive solutions to human, ecological and economic challenges. The SCAD design for sustainability program emphasizes an integrated approach to sustainable design and design leadership, encompassing the technological, economic, social and behavioral realms of sustainable solutions. Coursework in the M.A. program focuses on methods and skills, sharpening students’ analytical abilities to design in a way that is environmentally, financially and socially responsible — the “triple bottom line” of sustainable practice. The M.F.A. program is based on comprehensive courses that delve deeply into theory, methodology and concept development. Students build expert-level knowledge in one of four areas of sustainability in the design professions: built environment, management, packaging and print media, and products. Across both graduate programs, students extend the reach of design thinking to investigate multistakeholder initiatives, consumer lifestyle choices and business practices, with an emphasis on resource productivity, social innovation and future-oriented business strategies. Leading-edge technologies, including life-cycle analysis software, and relevant out-of-classroom experiences provide all students with knowledge applicable to a broad spectrum of professional fields.

Within the SCAD design management program, innovation, design thinking and collaboration are the pillars of a curriculum that emphasizes social sciences, strategic planning, brand development and business practices. Graduates are poised to leverage innovation as a sustainable competitive advantage for a wide range of organizations. Design management students develop trendsetting business, marketing, user experience and branding strategies for future products and services in both the commercial and nonprofit sectors.

Strategic connections The M.A. degree culminates in an individual final project that requires students to challenge traditional perceptions of design and market development and apply theory to real-life situations. M.F.A. students conduct scholarly investigations into innovation processes and organizational issues, and develop theoretical constructs that contribute to the discipline. SCAD design management students have partnered with industry leaders Chick-fil-A, Google, HewlettPackard, Walt Disney Imagineering and other Fortune 500 companies to design solutions for real-world needs. Through the university’s global campus locations in Atlanta, Hong Kong, Lacoste and Savannah, these projects have spanned the world over. In one collaboration with The Coca-Cola Company, SCAD design management students led a team effort to engage with and educate both consumers and food service crew members about the Coca-Cola Freestyle® self-serve beverage dispenser. In another partnership for the Institute of Museum and Library Services, they completed contextual research at the university’s Jen Library to develop a strategic toolkit for analyzing and creating an optimal physical and digital user experience at a library. Students and alumni have secured coveted internships and full-time positions with American Greetings, Energy BBDO, frog, Gensler, Gulfstream Aerospace, IBM, Porsche, Ralph Lauren, Reebok and many others.

SARA MARTIN

INNOVATION STRATEGIST, PORSCHE CARS NORTH AMERICA M.A. DESIGN MANAGEMENT WEST CHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA

Sara Martin is part of a team at Porsche Cars North America that is spearheading a culture shift by encouraging employees to apply a design-thinking approach to solving business challenges. Q: What made you decide to pursue your master’s degree in design management? This was a career change for me. I previously worked as a database engineer, coding and working with statistics — just numbers, numbers, numbers all day long. In my spare time, I have a creative side; I love to paint. When I was searching for a master’s degree that would advance my career, the SCAD design management program popped out as something unique. It was a bridge between my right and left brain and allowed me to figure out a career path forward that let me use both.

Q: How did SCAD help prepare you for your career? Being able to work, to do what I love, and to have found a job that directly relates to what I studied at SCAD is phenomenal. For the first time in my life, I’m working for big companies and brands that people recognize, but simultaneously in a space doing something that I love and something I want to do. I feel a huge sense of pride.

One of the huge benefits of SCAD is the connections you’re able to make. I gravitated toward speaker events and employer visits. One that really stuck out was a workshop with IBM — the contacts I made in the company served as resources for my final project in design management.

EQUESTRIAN STUDIES From the management of barns and businesses to the artistry of competitions and shows, equestrian professionals operate in countless roles within this growing field. Anchored by an exceptional equestrian center, the SCAD equestrian studies program cultivates both athletes and entrepreneurs. To prepare students as competitive riders, trainers, marketing professionals, journalists or managers in the professional realm, the comprehensive equestrian studies curriculum spans equine training principles, competition regulations and governance, and professional responsibility. Students gain a thorough understanding of equine anatomy, psychology and behavior that they apply to the care, training and riding of horses. Lectures by visiting professionals, including trainers, Olympic-caliber riders, judges, veterinarians and horse show managers, complement the rigorous coursework. SCAD faculty and staff, themselves nationally recognized equestrians, include an Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association Board of Directors member and a Lifetime Achievement Award winner, a member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners and American Veterinary Medical Association, a United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) licensed official, a certified United States Eventing Association instructor and a United States Dressage Federation medalist. Faculty members actively compete in USEF-recognized hunter/jumper, dressage and eventing competitions. At the heart of the program is the SCAD Ronald C. Waranch Equestrian Center, a compound of more than 180 acres complete with paddocks, pastures, competition arenas, a beautiful stable and a state-of-the-art covered riding arena.

JEFFREY TAYLOR

2016 SUPIMA DESIGN COMPETITION WINNER B.F.A. FASHION DECATUR, GEORGIA Jeffrey Taylor’s Tibetan-inspired senior collection blossomed on the 2016 SCAD Fashion Show runway. Taylor collaborated on signature textiles with fibers students Jennifer Dranttel (Bellingham, Washington) and Liz Nagel (Maumelle, Arkansas), who helped create the collection’s patterned fabric by scanning and printing real flowers and finishing garments with hand beading and embroidery. The designer’s floral eveningwear later won the prestigious 2016 Supima Design Competition’s top honor — a $10,000 cash prize — and his collection was shown at both New York and Paris Fashion Weeks.

SCAD’s fashion program is competitive, so I was thrilled to be selected as one of the designers for the SCAD Fashion Show. Being selected by the jury for the show, and then winning Supima just a few months later, has been the icing on top of an incredible college experience.

SCAD Atlanta students create in the 50,000-square-foot SCAD Digital Media Center and SCADshow, a 28,000-square-foot, two-stage performance and event venue. In Savannah, students practice the art of filmmaking in Adler Hall, Crites Hall, Hamilton Hall, Montgomery Hall, Trustees Theater and the expansive, 22,000-squarefoot Savannah Film Studios. At SCAD Hong Kong, students enjoy access to a green screen studio and digital and computer labs with advanced editing software. SCAD provides fully equipped studio environments around the globe where students explore the latest virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, a Techno-Jib, sound recording and mixing suites, editing rooms, screening spaces, set and prop fabrication studios, sound stages, lighting grids, postproduction suites, motion capture studios and green screen production studios, white and green cyclorama wall studios, and production offices. With access to resources like these, SCAD students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and explore every area of filmmaking to build a personally tailored, focused degree track. The department actively mirrors the professional world across all production platforms — multicamera, single-camera, hybrid production — to refine student understanding of what it means to be employed in all arenas of the film and television landscape. Within upper-level coursework and through collaboration, they broaden their abilities to structure narratives and productions. Graduate students perfect their visions through final projects or original thesis work — up to and including directing their own films. Students also gain insight and forge career-making connections at the university’s annual Savannah Film Festival. The eight-day event connects students with cinema’s luminaries, such as 2016 honorees and guests Mahershala Ali, Sam Claflin, David Harbour, Molly Shannon and Miles Teller. In Atlanta, the annual SCAD aTVfest is another star-studded event for SCAD students, where actors, directors, producers and other entertainment professionals discuss the evolution of storytelling on the screen. Recent visitors include Jenna Elfman, Jennifer Morrison, Jeff Perry, Christina Ricci and the casts of ABC’s Scandal and FOX’s Star.

STAR STUDENTS Winner of the 2017 Student Emmy Award for Best Scripted Series, the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live-action comedy The Buzz featured SCAD students in front of and behind the camera. Head writer Matt Nickley (Norwood, Massachusetts) and producer Shasta Ford (Deltona, Florida) graced the red carpet in Los Angeles for the awards ceremony, representing more than 80 SCAD students from six academic departments who contributed to the show as cast members, showrunners and crew.

ALUMNI SUCCESS

OCTAVIA GILMORE FOUNDER, CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER, CREATIVE JUICE LLC B.F.A. GRAPHIC DESIGN JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY

After graduating from SCAD, Octavia Gilmore launched branding and marketing agency Creative Juice LLC — now an award-winning enterprise that provides graphic and web design solutions to clients including the City of Atlanta, Cox Enterprises, Equifax, Goodwill Industries and The Home Depot. Q: What makes your business unique? What sets Creative Juice apart from other agencies in Atlanta is we’re a minority womanowned business. We’re also a millennial-run company. Because of those two factors, we bring a fresh, unique approach to all of the marketing materials we work on for our clients. I feel like we’re leading the scene here with graphic design.

Q: How did the SCAD graphic design program help you succeed? The professors are hands-on and knowledgeable, and because of the small class sizes, I was able to not only build relationships with the professors but with students in my major as well. This created a collaborative learning environment that allowed me to excel. Now when I’m looking for talent, I go to SCAD first.

SCAD prepared me for the real world as a business owner because I learned that graphic design is not just a career in which you make things look pretty — it’s to visually communicate a message that is relevant and meaningful. I use that daily with my clients. My major takeaway from SCAD is to be professional in every margin, every font, every color.

language, performance and financial value of products and experiences. They master the process of identifying design opportunities, engage in scenario planning and create viable solutions that become tangible parts of a system, service or brand — and they establish lasting relationships with target audiences in the process. Active participation in the broad scope of professional practice is a hallmark of the SCAD student experience. In recent years, students have partnered with dozens of companies and brands, including AT&T, BMW, The Coca-Cola Company, Dynacraft, Fisher-Price, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Hewlett-Packard, Mattel, Microsoft and Reebok, to generate imaginative, workable solutions to real-world design challenges. At all levels of study, industrial design students sharpen their problemsolving skills, master the art of strategic thinking and develop inspired, human-centered approaches that positively and effectively address customer and business needs. The undergraduate curriculum fosters technical literacy and explores cognitive methodologies. M.A. students strengthen their work with focused research projects, and M.F.A. students engage in significant research that moves forward the body of knowledge of the profession.

Inventive solutions Industrial design course instruction and studio work take place in the SCAD Gulfstream Center for Design, a highly equipped 45,000-squarefoot studio-lab-workshop space. Industrial design students have access to the latest computers with Wacom Cintiq displays operating Adobe Creative Cloud Complete, Rhino 3D, Orca, Grasshopper, SolidWorks, KeyShot and other cutting-edge software suites. Students can use one of nine 3-D printers to produce ABS and polycarbonate models of their computer-generated work, or handheld laser scanners to digitize their models. Laser cutters allow them to transfer their digital designs to a wide range of materials and an injection molding machine yields working prototypes. A 10,000-square-foot model shop provides students with ample space to work with wood, metal, plastics and composites. Students can also bolster their portfolios with certifications in Rhino software and biomimicry, which involves the design and production of materials, structures and systems modeled on biological entities and processes.

Graduate students explore both paths through rigorous, comprehensive coursework that focuses on game environments, user-centered design and scripting for interactivity. Program alumni are prepared to launch successful careers as digital media entrepreneurs, to develop dynamic interactive interfaces and to push boundaries in the creation of compelling new worlds.

IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENTS SCADâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interactive design and game development department is one of the first to expand virtual reality applications beyond entertainment. In a recent SCAD Collaborative Learning Center experience, students contributed to an educational virtual reality tool that teaches Mandarin within the 3-D setting of a traditional Chinese apothecary.

INTERIOR DESIGN From corporate to residential, retail to gallery, interior designers imagine the spaces that engage, inspire and motivate. They examine the relationship between humans and the environments and objects around them to curate meaningful and memorable interiors. Under the guidance of experienced professors with close ties to the professional field, SCAD interior design students learn to employ aesthetic theory, culture, materiality and function in the design of interior spaces. They carefully and holistically consider purpose and use, health, wellness and sustainable practices. Undergraduate students explore history, construction methods, materials, furnishings, lighting, building codes, barrier-free design and other specializations. Students are challenged to become thoughtful designers capable of critical thinking, effective communication and productive teamwork, and graduate with diverse experience in corporate, hospitality and residential interior design. The B.F.A. degree programs at SCAD Atlanta and SCAD Savannah are accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation, a resounding affirmation that graduates are well-qualified to enter professional practice. The M.A. curriculum emphasizes emerging materials, human response and research methods. M.F.A. students investigate the design discipline in-depth to become expert practitioners and educators. Coursework covers commercial, residential and institutional design, and addresses a wide range of behavioral, environmental, decorative and technical issues. Students at every level work with advanced electronic design software, including Autodesk Revit and 3ds Max, AutoCAD, SketchUp and Adobe Creative Cloud Complete.

PAINTING Painting is an art form that is both ancient and timeless, poetic and dramatic. Painters create enviably personal yet eminently collectible work. In fact, the more than $50 billion-per-year fine arts market continues to grow, with major events like Art Basel Miami Beach defining the cultural calendar and major league sports stadia investing substantially in public art. SCAD was selected as the art adviser to the 2 million-square-foot Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United FC professional teams. The new stadium’s prodigious collection is seen by millions of people per year. Twenty of the artists represented in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium collection are SCAD alumni. Georgia ranked No. 1 in worldwide film production in 2016, according to a FilmL.A. study, and all film sets need art. One example of the prominence of SCAD alumni in the world of visual storytelling is SCAD painting alumnus Jon Moody, whose work is a favorite of Empire creator Lee Daniels. At SCAD, undergraduate painting students gain expertise in traditional and modern approaches as well as the entire palette of professional practice — from creating work, editing a portfolio and engaging a gallery to creative entrepreneurship and launching a solo exhibition. Graduate students work in private studios and benefit from instruction, mentoring and critical feedback from faculty, guest artists and their peers. Topics in contemporary art, art criticism and critical theory are explored throughout the coursework, offering advanced perspective and providing a historical and critical context. A critique-based system of teaching and learning expands students’ opportunities to see and realize ambitious works of fine art in all media. Through events including Open Studio Night and initiatives like the e-commerce, fullservice SCAD Art Sales, students and alumni enhance their artistic representation and promote and sell their work to discerning clients worldwide. Painting students also have the unique opportunity to collaborate with other disciplines at SCAD, including film and television, performing arts, production design and more.

Elevated aesthetic Throughout the academic year, SCAD painting students draw on the enriching resources of the university’s hometowns, immersing themselves in Atlanta, Hong Kong, Lacoste and Savannah. Additionally, students have access to thousands of works by art world luminaries in SCAD’s permanent collection. In Savannah, the SCAD Museum of Art mounts more than 20 major exhibitions a year, among them the works of National Medal of Arts recipients Jacob Lawrence and Romare Bearden, media artist and choreographer Jonah Bokaer, and installation artist Nicola López. Annual events such as SCAD deFINE ART invite students to place a finger on the pulse of the art world by attending exhibitions, panel discussions, lectures and more. Recent SCAD deFINE ART guests include kinetic artist Carlos Cruz-Diez, MacArthur Fellow Xu Bing, sculptural installation artist Nari Ward and New York magazine senior critic Jerry Saltz. Guest artists and alumni mentors also conduct critiques, review portfolios, visit student studios, offer lectures and hold workshops. Guest artists have included Miya Ando, Jack Whitten, Adam Cvijanovic, Marina Abramović, Hugo Dalton, and Tim Rollins and K.O.S.; SCAD alumni Summer Wheat, Monica Cook and William Singer; distinguished curators Barry Bergdoll and Philippe de Montebello; and critic Gary Tinterow. Graduates of the university’s multifaceted painting program have exhibited at world-renowned museums including the Guggenheim, the Museum of Modern Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, as well as at the world’s most prestigious art fairs, including the Hong Kong International Art Fair, Prix de Rome in the Netherlands and Art Central Hong Kong. New American Paintings has featured or published the work of SCAD painting students and alumni more than 50 times since 2000. SCAD painting alumni also branch out into other fields, serving as art directors for publications, design directors for apparel companies, and experts in setting and object manipulation for Hollywood.

JOSÉ PARLÁ

PAINTER EXHIBITED AT SCAD MUSEUM OF ART PAINTING MIAMI, FLORIDA

Cuban-American artist José Parlá’s monumental works include a mural commissioned for the lobby of One World Trade Center, where it greets an estimated 20,000 visitors a day. His 2016 exhibition Roots, held in conjunction with the Rolls-Royce Art Programme and SCAD AT MIAMI, the university’s celebration of contemporary art, creative education and the global community, represented a homecoming. Q: What advice do you have for students? Keep the contacts and friendships you create at SCAD, which will continue throughout your lives. You cannot reach your goals alone. You need cooperation and community. Collaborations with friends and other artists whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with and learning from help me stay contemporary.

Q: What opportunities were available at SCAD? At SCAD, I focused in a more serious way on my art. I could practice techniques as well as learn the history of art, from the beginning of human expression to modern and contemporary works. I think it’s important for every student to understand history. Without knowing your own background and that of other artists in history, you cannot reach an original platform.

Originality is essential for any artist. My advice is to work hard to find a visual language of your own. It could be in cinema, visual arts or any other discipline — whether you sing, dance, act or want to be an architect, you must deeply realize the importance of finding your own path.

PERFORMING ARTS Performing artists give life to spellbinding characters onstage and on-screen through live performances, sitcoms, dramatic series, commercials and more. SCAD performing artists work in film, television and theater, and receive focused instruction paired with opportunities to flourish in riveting projects, including multicamera comedy series, stage productions, SCAD films, improvisation performances, dance concerts, original works, new interpretations of classical and modern plays, musicals, and senior projects and M.F.A. thesis shows. Performing arts professors — award-winning actors, directors and casting directors with impressive credentials — bring years of success to the classroom. The curriculum is complemented by courses in dramatic writing, film and television, dance and vocal performance. In addition, the university’s award-winning sitcom The Buzz allows performing arts students to sharpen their on-camera presence. The undergraduate curriculum is structured to encourage the evolution of each student’s unique artistic voice. Graduate students pursue advanced studies in acting, auditioning, vocal production and selfpromotion for screen, stage and emerging media. The university offers career-launching interaction with professionals through on-site auditions with the best agents, managers and casting directors in the business. During the annual Savannah Film Festival and SCAD aTVfest, students learn from the industry’s brightest stars. The university’s master classes enable students to ask questions, dive into the heart of performance, and engage with internationally lauded actors and directors who share their knowledge and experiences. Recent instructors include 2017 Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actor Mahershala Ali, actors Demián Bichir, Sam Claflin, Topher Grace, David Harbour, Jeff Perry, Rodrigo Santoro, Molly Shannon and Miles Teller, and casting directors Sheila Jaffe and Linda Lowy. Students can also perform in showcases in New York, Los Angeles and Atlanta in front of renowned agents, managers and casting directors. Through these opportunities, SCAD performing artists investigate a wide range of roles for the application of their talents — casting director, director, agent, actor and more.

DeRON HORTON

ACTOR, BURNING SANDS, DEAR WHITE PEOPLE, DIRT B.F.A. PERFORMING ARTS HOUSTON, TEXAS

DeRon Horton has used his education at SCAD to explode onto the film and television scene in the short time since his graduation in 2015. His training in audition techniques, acting for the camera and character development have led to star turns in Hollywood. He now resides in Los Angeles and is represented by ICM Partners. Q: What opportunities did you take advantage of at SCAD? I was in a showcase for performing arts students that traveled to Los Angeles, New York and Atlanta. That’s how I met the manager I signed with: She came to the Los Angeles performance and saw me.

Q: What is the most important lesson you learned at SCAD? Going to SCAD aTVfest and the Savannah Film Festival helped me understand the importance of building relationships. When you cross paths with people in the industry later, you can say, “Hey, I met you at this festival,” and you can connect that way.

Being a part of the SCAD performing arts department allowed me the freedom to find a character on stage, to build something out of removing myself entirely. I also took classes on acting for the camera, which made the process so simple. Acting for the camera is understated and acting for the stage is expressive, and I learned both at SCAD.

ALUMNI SUCCESS

BIN FENG

FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHER M.F.A. PHOTOGRAPHY SHANGHAI, CHINA

Bin Feng’s dramatic, cinematically styled self-portraits illustrate his bicultural experience after his move to the U.S. from China. His series The American Dream was exhibited at Art Central Hong Kong and SCAD AT MIAMI, the university’s celebration of contemporary art, creative education and the global community during the 2016 Art Basel Miami Beach. Q: What inspired your exhibition

for SCAD AT MIAMI?

My series attempts to create a character that represents people who migrate to the U.S., are of different cultural backgrounds and speak different languages, and who are eventually going to become part of American culture. It is fictional imagery you could consider a visual diary of my everyday life.

Q: How does the SCAD environment

shape your work?

I have a crew of 20 people, most from the film department, and we work closely together — like a family. I help them produce their film projects and they help me with lighting setup in return. It’s all about cross-media collaboration. It is amazing to work with such talented artists.

SCAD has the best resources in the photography department and the best instructors who will help you step by step. The experience of studying at SCAD is a lifetime memory.

PRESERVATION DESIGN Preservation designers view architectural heritage as common legacy and contribute to a vibrant future by combining history, planning, and conservation with business, entrepreneurship and design innovation to elevate the built environment. Under the guidance of dedicated faculty, SCAD preservation design students learn to navigate business and economic issues and cultivate new models for adding value to communities. They employ entrepreneurial strategies to challenge conventions for managing and adapting cultural resources — both tangible and intangible — through

Through recent projects with partners such as the 1772 Foundation, the Association for Preservation Technology International, the Savannah Development and Renewal Authority and the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art, students become acutely aware of the role of

advocacy and stewardship in the advancement of heritage. They capitalize on the wealth of material found in historical precedent to inform forward-looking design. Beyond the classroom, students have unparalleled access to admired practitioners. SCAD has hosted the U.S. National Committee of the International Council on Monuments and Sites symposium; presented workshops and lectures by members of the Congress for the New Urbanism, the World Monuments Fund and the National Park Service; and partnered with the National Trust for Historic Preservation to create and host PastForward, the National Preservation Conference, one of the largest and most influential preservation events in the world. Even before they graduate, SCAD students distinguish themselves in academic and professional circles: In 2016–17, SCAD students received scholarships and honors from the Association for Preservation Technology International, the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works, the Historic American Buildings Survey’s Charles E. Peterson Prize and others. Program alumni step into leadership roles with prominent organizations including the National Park Service, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, the U.S. Capitol Historical Society and more.

SCAD’s tradition of preservation and adaptive reuse has played a significant role in revitalizing Savannah, transforming neglected and abandoned properties throughout the city into aspirational spaces for student learning and living.

HONORED HERITAGE SCAD has breathed new life into more than 100 buildings around the world since its founding. In light of this tradition, the National Trust for Historic Preservation presented SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace with the 2016 Louise du Pont Crowninshield Award, the highest recognition for individual achievement in preservation. She is the first university president to receive the honor.

PROFITABLE PRESERVATION Preservation design improves both the aesthetics of a city and its job growth: Preservation projects created more jobs in Georgia per $1 million of economic activity than any other major sector, including new construction, according to a recent study by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

CULTURAL RESOURCES In collaboration with artist Michael Joo, preservation design students helped create a site-specific structural installation of tabby, a centuries-old building material made of lime, sand and shell, for the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibition Barrier Island at the SCAD Museum of Art. The installation, titled Foundational, explored the residual effects of natural phenomena and human intervention on the landscape over time, and how these forces shape cultures and identities.

SCULPTURE Sculptors create the monuments, exhibitions, objects and costumes that invite us to experience our environments in new and surprising ways. Today’s sculptors shape wood, concrete, bronze, light, textiles, sustainable and organic matter, digital projections and other materials into large public art works, movie miniatures, props and prosthetics, inventive industrial prototypes, fine art casting, site-specific installations, set designs and more. SCAD sculpture students illuminate all aspects of the profession within one of the finest sculpture studios in higher education, located in Midtown Atlanta. Designed by world-renowned architect Renzo Piano, the expansive sculpture department houses a wood and metal shop, 3-D printing technology, a foundry for bronze and stainless steel, a studio and support equipment. Here, sculpture students learn to produce work in a professional context, stimulated by a comprehensive curriculum that explores traditional and nontraditional media.

graduate degrees in sequential art. Students explore every style and genre imaginable in this action-packed creative discipline through a progressive curriculum that incorporates traditional techniques with advanced technology and specialized digital applications. To complement their course of study, students have a breadth of diverse electives from which to choose, including manga and superhero comics, cartooning, character design, advanced storyboarding, publishing, painting for comics, cover illustration, creating sequential art for emerging media, maquette design, advanced studies in human and animal anatomy and sequential picture books for children. Graduate students are prepared for careers in the field and are ready to cultivate the creativity of the next generation of visual storytellers. M.A. and M.F.A. students learn production methods, critique, theory and practice; those pursuing M.F.A. degrees are also required to complete an internship. The program’s high level of academic and professional preparation has led to a number of accolades in recent years. The Daily Beast named SCAD one of the top three places from which Marvel Comics recruits the most editors, and USA Today has highlighted the university’s sequential art program. Philadelphia Weekly has called SCAD “the Harvard of comics.”

designers prioritize the patient experience through such innovations as improving the MRI scan procedure, among others. At Philips Healthcare, savvy professionals designed an interactive MRI experience for children, inviting them to bring stuffed animals into the machine and to select an animation to project onto the interior walls of the equipment — making patients and their families more comfortable while simultaneously improving outcomes. From hospitality to entertainment and beyond, service designers anticipate the future. They make life easier for customers and generate successful results for companies. SCAD offers the first B.F.A. and M.F.A. degrees in service design in the U.S. Students learn how to research and analyze human behavior, societal needs, business models and competitive environments — and transform those insights into strategy. Equipped with a solid foundation in problem-solving and in qualitative and quantitative research, they identify business opportunities and strengthen services for a wide array of professional realms. Based in the SCAD Gulfstream Center for Design, students collaborate across disciplines and with numerous external partners, including Google, Gulfstream Aerospace and Walt Disney Imagineering through the SCAD Collaborative Learning Center. In one recent partnership, service design students reimagined the security check-in process and the in-flight entertainment system for Delta Air Lines. Undergraduate students focus on idea visualization, service architecture, enterprise and innovation. M.F.A. students are prepared to take leadership roles in large organizations in the private and public sectors, where they spearhead change and manage multidisciplinary teams. SCAD service design graduates work at Apple, IBM, Mayo Clinic, Sears and elite global design consultancies Acquity Group, Fjord, IDEO and others. As the field of service design rapidly grows in importance and stature across the world, graduates of the SCAD service design program are helping companies and organizations design a more humane, more functional and more highly evolved future for all.

TELEVISION PRODUCING Pitch, write and develop new shows. Cast and build creative teams. Supervise shooting, scheduling and distribution. For television producers, the professional opportunities are endless and cover all aspects of production for live, remote, studio, promotional and prerecorded programming. SCAD students learn the television business from the inside out in the fastest-growing and most connected film and television production hot spot — Atlanta, Georgia, the epicenter of a $7 billion statewide industry. As home to Cartoon Network, CNN, Cox Communications, FOX Sports, Turner Broadcasting, The Weather Channel and more than 150 annual film productions, Atlanta offers students access to valuable hands-on opportunities, top-tier internships and career-building connections. Top casting directors, writers and producers regularly visit the classrooms and attend SCAD signature events. These career-making connections take the spotlight at SCAD aTVfest, an international event celebrating the latest in television and media production, where screenings, panel discussions and receptions take students behind the scenes. The course of study requires four separate field internships in television, video, digital media or film production to ensure SCAD students gain real-world experience and television-producing credits before entering the job market. Classes are held in the SCAD Digital Media Center, a fully equipped television studio that also supports related digital media fields such as animation and motion media design. Students work on high-end television production sets and in editing suites, multicamera soundstages, sound recording and mixing suites, screening spaces, and set and prop fabrication studios. The SCAD Digital Media Center is production-ready and enables students to conceive, shoot and produce entire programs under one roof. SCAD television producing students intern at A&E, Adult Swim, BET, CNN, TNT and Tyler Perry Studios during their studies, while alumni work for Cartoon Network, Turner Broadcasting and Univision, among others.

SCAD offers the first and only M.F.A. program in themed entertainment design, a compelling, synergistic field that combines architecture and media content with the narrative power of film and live theater. Students work with peers in animation, interactive design and game development, interior design, production design, sequential art, sound design, visual effects and other disciplines to add depth and dimension to their work. Themed entertainment design students at the SCAD Collaborative Learning Center have recently partnered with Hong Kong Disneyland to create immersive hotel rooms that bring the park experience and park characters into each room — digitally and experientially. Students have also collaborated with Chick-fil-A to develop interior design and storytelling concepts to convey the company’s commitment to quality and customer service. Real-world design experiences such as these have led to careers for SCAD themed entertainment design alumni with Walt Disney Imagineering, Universal Creative, ITEC Entertainment, Falcon’s Creative Group and others.

SCAD professors and their industry connections were easily my most valuable resource. I had tried to break into this field for over 10 years, and within nine months at SCAD, I had toured Walt Disney Imagineering on both coasts, networked with many professionals whose careers I had followed for years, and landed a dream internship.

SCAD.EDU / URBAN-DESIGN

URBAN DESIGN Urban designers exist at the confluence of the built and natural environments, examining and influencing the relationships between a city and its buildings, open spaces and the people who inhabit them. Their study stretches from street level to beyond the cityscape and analyzes a range of challenges — from connectivity and ecology to economics and usability — as they transform cities around the world into more beautiful, functional and green places. At SCAD, the only art and design university in the U.S. to offer a Master of Urban Design degree, students learn to balance historical continuity with formal experiments and technological innovation to

plan visionary urban designer Edmund Bacon hailed as “one of the finest diagrams for city organization and growth in existence.” Beyond Savannah, students may choose to spend a quarter or more at one of the university’s global locations to experience booming metropolises on two continents or the time-honored beauty of a medieval French village steeped in history. In each location, access to resources including Esri CityEngine Advanced, model shops and hybrid graphics labs equipped with 3-D modeling software help students realize their visions for the urban landscape. In a recent collaboration with Esri, urban design students created a detailed, 3-D printed scale model of Savannah’s historic district with data generated by CityEngine Advanced. Students explore ways to culturally enrich local amenities and foster a resilient urban ecology through research and case studies. They work on current city planning initiatives with municipalities and institutions concerned with urban growth, and combine them with cutting-edge technology at SCAD. This integration has resulted in inventive solutions, such as an augmented reality walking tour of Savannah using Microsoft HoloLens. In a multidisciplinary collaboration with peers in interactive design and game development and visual effects, urban design students mapped a virtual reality tour of the city’s iconic Chippewa Square. As a complement to the program requirements, students have gone on to pursue National Charrette Institute and Form-Based Codes Institute certification. SCAD urban design alumni find professional success with Design Republic, Gensler, Perkins+Will, SWA Group and more.

USER EXPERIENCE (UX) DESIGN Among today’s most in-demand professionals, UX designers dream up revolutionary design products, solutions and services — both digital and physical — that reinvent and reinvigorate how companies connect with customers and stay competitive. From mobile devices to intelligent clothing, automobile interiors to health care informatics, UX designers harness the power of technology to help organizations understand how customer behavior drives decisions and interpret the results to evolve their product and service offerings. A well-rounded UX designer is a skilled researcher, effective programmer and visionary designer. At SCAD, UX design students learn how to master all three roles, developing their creative, technical and analytical skills to take on the challenges of tomorrow. As observers of human behavior, students use research methodologies to uncover deep insights about the needs, wants and motivations that drive the modern individual. As programmers, they communicate

directly with developers, aiding in the production of innovative solutions and front-end prototypes. As designers, students tackle 21st-century problems, drive the conversation and create new solutions. Using materials ranging from graphics and 3-D models to sensors and actuators, they produce beautiful product-service systems and memorable experiences. SCAD faculty and academic leadership collaborated with Google to develop the program’s groundbreaking curriculum focused on four foundational pillars: human behavior, technical proficiency, aesthetics and collaboration. In their coursework, students learn the fundamentals of graphic design, industrial design and interaction design, all supported by a strong studio experience, mathematics and programming. Through mentorships and collaborations with companies such as 3M, Capital One, Facebook, Hewlett-Packard, The Home Depot, Instagram, Microsoft and others, students prepare to take this rapidly growing industry by storm.

SCAD CORE

FOUNDATION STUDIES SCHOOL OF FOUNDATION STUDIES Every undergraduate student’s educational experience is anchored by SCAD Core, which includes rigorous courses in drawing and design that provide students with studio experience to build visual, conceptual and creative abilities. In these courses, students gain a foundation in the utilization of visual language, the development of creative solutions, and art and design critique. Students advance to foundation studies courses that move in the direction of their professional aspirations. For example, in DSGN 115 Creative Thinking Strategies, students who enter the accessory design and industrial design programs learn to develop concepts independently and collaboratively. In DRAW 115 Graphics for the Building Arts, students who pursue architecture, interior design and preservation design learn to use drawing as a way to depict the built environment. In DRAW 206 Drawing for Storyboarding, students interested in sequential art learn to use a sequence of images to tell a story. Dramatic writing, performing arts and sound design students explore the design and organization of time-based work, which includes video, interactive multimedia and performance in DSGN 204 Design III: Time. The organization of foundation studies courses into a two-year sequence allows students to complete necessary courses in preparation for upper-level coursework. Students should consult their programs of study for specific curriculum requirements. Through foundation studies, SCAD offers students a remarkable array of support and tutoring services. The SCAD Drawing and Design Center offers peer tutoring and workshops that include “Color and Light,” where students learn to recognize colors under various lighting conditions, and “Planar Analysis,” where students learn about structural planes of objects and the human form. Open model sessions offer weekly opportunities for figure drawing and cover gesture and quick and long poses. Open drawing sessions explore interdisciplinary qualities of gestural sketch approaches with professors from a variety of majors who host each event. Digital prototyping centers and SCAD labs support many of the DSGN 100 Design I: Elements and Organization courses for both large-scale digital printing and laser cutting. The lecture series “Ideas in Sight” brings in professionals from many disciplines to discuss how they generate their ideas, which helps first-year students see the connection between research, drawing, design process, and environmental and cultural influences. Students then recognize how the combination of these elements builds to a final work. First-year students also have the opportunity to hear from students across disciplines in the lecture series “Major Connections,” where upper-level students talk about their current work and its connection to their foundation studies experience. Foundation studies faculty members hold terminal degrees and high acclaim in their professions. They include a U.S. Artists Fellow, a MacDowell Fellow, a Clio Award winner, a Kennedy Center Faculty Fellow, a Ford Foundation Grant recipient and Fulbright Scholars. Their work has been commissioned and sponsored by governments and institutions around the globe, and has been exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Dublin Biennial and Prague Quadrennial, as well as countless other galleries, museums and art fairs.

SCAD LANGUAGE STUDIO ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE SCAD is an international university with locations on three continents, and students are enrolled from more than 100 countries. The university offers an intensive, immersive English as a Second Language (ESL) program with an art and design focus. The SCAD Language Studio (SLS) improves the language proficiency of non-native English speakers by engaging them in the SCAD community from day one of enrollment. In keeping with its name, SLS offers students an authentic studio experience including active participation in class and university life. Students enrolled in SLS participate in a blended learning approach to language acquisition. In addition to engaging and collaborative in-class experiences, students are exposed to learning opportunities that take them beyond the classroom walls and into an innovative digital learning environment and a variety of other SCAD events. These activities may include observing for-credit courses or attending lectures and exhibitions. Individual tutoring is available to all SLS students at no additional cost and is based on instructor feedback and test scores, with each tutoring plan focused on speaking skills, reading, writing and listening. The SCAD Language Studio also offers the English Language Program (ELP), which provides instruction to international students interested in exclusively developing their English to further their career or personal goals. Students who successfully complete the ELP and apply to SCAD will have fulfilled the language proficiency requirements up to Level V as they begin their programs of study. Throughout their English language study, students work closely with instructors who have experience teaching students from all over the world. SLS instructors hold advanced degrees in ESL education and instruction, applied linguistics, foreign language education and related fields. ESL courses are preparatory for degreegranting coursework and do not carry credit toward a degree program. After an interview or with permission from SLS, students who receive a waiver for SLS may be eligible to enroll in ESL coursework or participate in English language tutoring if they desire assistance with language or cultural transitions. Visit scad.edu/fees for information on the cost of SLS courses. SLS courses may be waived upon successful performance on the ESL proficiency test. Visit scad.edu/eslassessment for more information on ESL assessment and criteria for successful completion of the ESL proficiency test.

Mandatory Reporting as Required by Law If the circumstances in a report also indicate a potential crime or misconduct that is subject to mandatory reporting requirements by law (e.g., child abuse), the University will seek to comply with such mandatory reporting obligations as soon as it reasonably can after receiving notice of the alleged incident.  C. Intake and Assessment with Reporting Party Upon receipt of a report or complaint of potential misconduct under this Policy, the TIX Coordinator (or designee) will request a confidential intake and assessment meeting with the Reporting Party to review the alleged misconduct. This meeting is not intended to serve as an exhaustive investigation interview, but rather to provide the TIX Coordinator (or designee) with sufficient contextual information to determine appropriate next steps to support the Reporting Party and to guide the University’s response. This intake meeting should also not be considered to be a discrete event, but rather as the beginning of an interactive process between the University and the Reporting Party to develop a comprehensive response plan related to the alleged misconduct that will provide for a fair, neutral, and equitable resolution to the alleged misconduct. The development of a support and response plan involves two categories of institutional response: i) assistance, interim remedies, and other support that are independent of the activation or outcome of the Grievance Process; and ii) evaluation of the complaint to determine whether to activate the Grievance Process, including the consideration of Interim Measures, sanctions, or other interim remedies that may be appropriate or necessary and that are dependent upon the activation and outcome of the Grievance Process.

Party to review and update these activities as appropriate. a. Assistance with Care and Support: i.

Care and Support Resources: Reviewing information about and providing assistance as requested in contacting/accessing the care and support resources that are described in Section IV. iii. Interim Remedies: Reviewing and, to the extent appropriate, coordinating the implementation of academic and other interim remedies that may be appropriate to support Reporting Party and that may be appropriate irrespective of whether the University activates the Grievance Process, and that also may be appropriate independent of the results of the Grievance Process. Examples of such interim remedies include: A. Housing assistance for Reporting Party, such as: changes to on-campus housing, on-campus relocation, assistance with dissolving a housing contract in accordance with housing policies; B. Academic assistance such as: providing alternative course completion options, dropping a course without penalty, or transferring to a different class section; C.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are: 1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the date SCAD receives a request for access. Students should submit to the registrar written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The registrar makes arrangements for access and notifies the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the registrar, the registrar shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. That official makes arrangements for access and notifies the student of when and where the records may be inspected. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. A student who believes records are inaccurate or misleading should write to the registrar, clearly identify the part of the record he or she wants changed and document why it is inaccurate or misleading. If SCAD decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, SCAD notifies the student of the decision and advises the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding hearing procedures is provided to the student at that time. 3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records (a student consents by completing and submitting an electronic FERPA form via MySCAD), except to the extent that FERPA authorizes

Students register for the thesis course at the end of their program and are expected to complete the thesis by the end of the final enrollment term. Students who do not finish their theses by the end of the term may request a grade of incomplete subject to the temporary grade of incomplete policy.

Graduate candidacy At the approximate midpoint of each graduate student’s course of study, the student must pass a faculty review for candidacy. In order to be reviewed, the student must have met all requirements for the program up to that point with a grade-point average of at least 3.0 in the major. In the candidacy review, the faculty assesses the student’s complete body of work, as well as the student’s readiness to continue in the program and succeed in the field upon graduation. Reviews are structured according to the discipline and degree program, assessing evidence

Five-year completion limit for graduate degrees The completion limit for graduate degrees is five years from the first day at SCAD. If, for any reason, the student does not complete the program within the five-year period, the student must petition to the office of graduate studies for continuation under the current program of study.

Master’s degree graduation requirements In order to graduate, students seeking master’s degrees are required to be continuously enrolled (at least two quarters per academic year, including continuing thesis, up to the five-year limit), fulfill all requirements of the program of study, and maintain a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade-point average overall as well as a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade-point average in the major area of study. To graduate with a double major or dual degree, graduate students must fulfill all requirements of each major. Specific completion requirements may vary according to the degree program and may require a thesis, final project or portfolio appropriate to the course of study. The subject and nature of thesis projects vary among departments. Final projects and portfolio courses include a written component. See specific program requirements for each major posted in

Summer programs SCAD offers an array of summer courses and workshops to students, educators and adults. These programs provide educational enrichment, prepare high school students for university-level coursework, and foster the artistic talents of both youth and adults. Participants may wish to earn college credit, fine-tune creative pursuits or simply seek personal enrichment or professional development. SCAD Rising Star is a five-week residential program for students who have completed their junior year of high school and wish to earn university credit. Participants have full access to SCAD buildings, stay in a SCAD residence hall and have their meals at a SCAD dining hall. Rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors may enroll in SCAD Summer Seminars, workshops for residential or commuting students that offer opportunities for talented teens to meet others from around the world and experience a taste of university life under the guidance of SCAD professors and graduate students. More information and registration guidelines are available at scad.edu/summer.

Policy on satisfactory academic progress All students receiving Federal Title IV financial aid, Georgia state financial aid, or SCAD grant aid must adhere to the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy on satisfactory academic progress. The Higher Education Act as amended by U.S. Congress mandates that higher education institutions establish minimum standards of â&#x20AC;&#x153;satisfactory academic progressâ&#x20AC;? for students receiving financial aid. Requirements to meet satisfactory academic progress include the following: Students must pass 67 percent of all coursework attempted; undergraduate students must earn a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 point scale; graduate students must earn a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 point scale. Satisfactory academic progress standards are evaluated as follows: Degree-seeking students in a program longer than one year are evaluated annually. Students enrolled in a degree program of one year or less are evaluated at the end of each payment period (quarter). The same review standards and sanctions (financial aid probation and assignment of an academic plan) apply to all students, regardless of the frequency of review (either quarterly or annually). The SCAD financial aid office does not utilize financial aid warnings, but does work closely with faculty and advisers to utilize an early alert system and proactive outreach to help students attain their academic goals. The complete policy is available online at scad.edu/ financialpolicies.

HONG KONG EDUCATION BUREAU SCAD Hong Kong courses of study are registered with the Hong Kong Education Bureau, registration numbers: 261958261971 and 262196-262202. It is a matter of discretion for individual employers to recognize any qualification to which these courses may lead. NATIONAL ARCHITECTURAL ACCREDITING BOARD In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board, which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted an eight-year, three-year or twoyear term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards. Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree. The Savannah College of Art and Design School of Building Arts offers the following NAAB-accredited degree program: M.Arch. (180 undergraduate credits plus 90 graduate credits). Next accreditation visit: 2021. COUNCIL FOR INTERIOR DESIGN ACCREDITATION The interior design program leading to the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Atlanta and Savannah is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (accredit-id.org), 206 Grandville Ave., Suite 350, Grand Rapids, MI 49503-4014.
