[quote=Anonymous]I have an art kid, so I looked into SCAD.

I wouldn't say it's a total scam. It appears to be provide a solid education in art and most of its graduates are employable. So it might be good for certain kids. For the most part, the art world doesn't care about pedigree; it only cares about your portfolio. And SCAD can help with that.

But, like most art schools, it's very expensive. And, as indicated above, SCAD admits nearly all applicants regardless of ability, which means that some kids may incur a huge debt without  the skill/talent to thrive in the industry. There are several articles and posts on the issues with SCAD.

FWIW, we crossed SCAD off DC's list along with other dedicated art schools. They were too expensive and DC still wants the ability to explore other subjects. Still, if we wanted an art college, we'd look at VCUarts, Tyler at Temple, and MICA in terms of quasi-local options. VCU, in particular, has nationally recognized BFA and MFA programs at public school prices. [/quote]
