<p>About the accreditation thing with SCAD - ignore it. It has the same label for it as does the art schools of the south like Ringling. People seem confused and say that you can’t transfer credits - it’s not true! SCAD is also very easy to get scholarship from. However, if you want prestige I would also recommend another school. SCAD is not bad - it has lots of potential actually - but have to wait for quite a few years to a decade I would guess. I didn’t apply to many art schools but MICA has reputation and offers scholarship, and also provides liberal art education. They also have a 5 year program of art combined with art education (teaching) and everyone that comes out of it gets a job I heard. </p>
<p>Good luck convincing your parents - so what do they want you to major in?</p>
