School of Design
Design is an essential element of everyday life. In the creation of products, services and ideas, a designer considers issues of user experience, value, aesthetics, technology and production. At SCAD, students learn to be adaptive thinkers, to design with all these factors in mind—from the perspective of the artist, craftsman, designer, marketer, client, user, customer and engineer. The School of Design fosters innovation, facilitates professional relationships, and encourages active engagement.
Design for Sustainability
In design for sustainability, professionals integrate the “four Es” of sustainability (ecology, economy, equality and education) in the development process, thus strengthening the interconnectedness between business and environment, human beings and nature.View this program

Industrial Design
Industrial designers determine the form and function of products we use every day—designing them to suit user needs while also considering the demands and limitations of production. The industrial designer is in the business of creating new products, services or ideas that enable people to lead better lives, stimulate commerce and contribute to community well-being.View this program
