The Savannah College of Art and Design offers
off-campus programs that provide students with the opportunity to further develop an in-depth understanding of their individual courses of study while earning college credit. Some programs focus on specific academic and studio disciplines, while others feature a variety of study options. Faculty members direct studies in the United States and abroad.
Off-campus programs allow students to gain a more vivid perspective of art, architecture and design, enhancing their total educational experience. Before departure, participants attend group and individual meetings to familiarize themselves with the area and culture they will visit, and establish plans and goals for study. Upon return, students continue their explorations by completing academic journals, sketchbooks, research papers and/or art or performance projects.
