They are accredited by SACS. I don’t know why SCAD does not have NASAD accreditation, but they like to do things their own way. Having attended SCAD and worked at SCAD for 14 years, and having attended and worked at schools with NASAD accreditation, I saw absolutely no cause for concern.
There are no issues with transferring credit or applications.
They have grown at an amazing pace, has this hurt them in some ways? Yes. It exaggerated their growing pains, but things have stabilized very well over the past ten years. You need not worry.
I don’t think SCAD’s Illustration department is on par with some other schools, but if everything else about the school falls into place, it is still a good choice.
