SCAD Interior Design Programs Ranked First in the Nation

SAVANNAH, GA – The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) is pleased to announce the No. 1 national ranking of its undergraduate and graduate interior design programs for 2019 by DesignIntelligence. This marks the seventh time since 2008 that SCAD has been ranked number one.

“Interior design reigns at SCAD, the international university for creative professions,” says Founder and President Paula Wallace. “From SCAD’s chic, award-winning academic studios to our number-one-ranked undergraduate and graduate degree programs, we are known for interior design. I am especially proud of our alumni who admirably represent SCAD’s 40-year history as the preeminent source of knowledge in the disciplines we teach. They are the best!”

The story of SCAD begins with interior design. Interior design was one of the eight original degree program offerings, and 40 years later interior design is one of the university’s highest enrolled programs with nearly 800 students studying across SCAD’s four global locations. Led by Founder and President Paula Wallace, learning environments and experiences are designed to be delightful, intentional, and professionally focused.

SCAD interior design students continue to be recognized as exemplary designers by notable platforms, such as the Red Dot Design Awards, the Donghia Foundation, Contract magazine, American Society of Interior Designers, Interior Design magazine, and others.
