Start on the path to success
At SCAD, you’ll learn to flourish in an industry that is integral to every aspect of product design, from concept to creation. Nicholas Baker (B.F.A., industrial design, 2015) shares how SCAD encouraged him to be hands on.
"Industrial design at SCAD is incredible. The professors are right out of the industry and know what they're talking about — they help us grow a network. The facilities are state of the art and the equipment is what I'll be using when I graduate from SCAD. There's no other place where you get the opportunities that SCAD provides you."
