Welcome
All undergraduate students receive a strong liberal arts education to expand their capacity for intellectual inquiry, and to develop practical skills to enable them to be creative and responsible world citizens in today’s global society.
In each undergraduate degree program, students are required to complete a substantial general education component of at least 55 quarter hours, which is the equivalent of 36 semester hours. The general education component is based on coherent rationale, ensures breadth of knowledge, and encompasses the areas of humanities/fine arts, social/behavioral sciences, and natural sciences/mathematics.
These courses do not narrowly focus on those skills, techniques and procedures specific to a particular occupation or profession, but rather are intended to provide a broad base of education upon which students may build. General education courses contribute to the ability to think critically and communicate effectively. The courses are designed to teach reasoning, analysis, aesthetic and cultural interpretation, research methods and technological approaches. The curriculum also emphasizes clear communication and coherent presentation of thoughts and ideas through assignments involving writing, speaking, research, analysis, planning and teamwork.

Specific general education course requirements are listed in each undergraduate program course of study. In addition to required courses, students are encouraged to select from a wide range of general education electives offered at SCAD.
Students should refer to the appropriate course of study for their chosen program and should consult with their faculty adviser or student success adviser when selecting or registering for any general education or elective course to ensure that the course meets the requirements of the program and contributes to the student’s overall educational experience.
