I have just started out it was my first week i am currently enrolled for e-learning classes , it is a new platform so it is a bit confusing and the way of teaching is also quite different and as this is a Master's program it is quite intense from the beginning but the classes are very interesting and i got to learn so much in just a week.

SCAD is a fast-paced university that offers great design educations. We do a lot of projects at once which trains you for the industry. I had wonderful professors with industry experience that taught me all about the art department for film. SCAD also has a lot of resources that students can take advantage of to make the best of your time at the university.
