   How it compares

   Among 2,515 universities in the United States, SCAD stands out for its specialised art-school identity rather than as a general-purpose university. Its multi-campus setup, international student share, and broad mix of 66 programmes make it a stronger fit for applicants who want creative study with some wider subject options than for those looking only for a traditional comprehensive university.
