SCAD study abroad programs

By applying to short- or full-term international or domestic study programs through the university, SCAD students may have the option to study at all SCAD locations. Students have the opportunity to earn credit while gaining a more vivid perspective on art, architecture, culture, design, and history. Programs and course offerings vary. Criteria for acceptance includes GPA, class standing, and course availability; in some cases a lengthy visa process is required. Current information is available online at scad.edu/studyabroad.

Students must first apply and be accepted to SCAD before applying to study abroad at SCAD Lacoste or in any SCAD short-term domestic or international study program. Students who wish to study at any SCAD location should discuss plans with their success adviser to outline criteria for application, program availability, and how coursework taken at these locations applies toward their program of study.

Tuition for coursework at SCAD is the same at all locations and learning modalities. Additional program fees, including travel, housing, meals, travel visas, insurance, excursions, etc., vary according to program location and duration. Students may apply their existing SCAD scholarships, fellowships, and federal and state financial aid toward the tuition and fees associated with domestic or international study programs. Students should contact a success adviser for information on applying financial aid and scholarships.

Orientation for SCAD Lacoste and short-term domestic and international study programs is offered prior to travel. Applications typically open two quarters in advance of the quarter for travel.
