Distinguished Visitors

The distinguished visiting faculty program is an exciting, albeit challenging, opportunity for SCAD students. Renowned artists join the SCAD faculty for one quarter to teach specialized courses and offer invaluable student critiques. The vision of the program, which expands the role of a visiting artist, is both unique and profound: Students are taught on a weekly basis by celebrated artists who have succeeded in transforming their art into successful careers - exemplifying the mission of a SCAD education. These advanced, five-hour credit courses are open to all graduate students and available to seniors with faculty adviser or chair approval.
