Lacoste
SCAD offers students the unique opportunity to live, learn and create art in the rural bucolic beauty of Lacoste. Campus buildings are located in Provence, France, and encompass residence halls, two dining halls and a preserved medieval village including a meticulously restored 11th-century farmhouse. Coursework is offered at an accelerated eight-week pace and geared to a collaborative and communal learning experience.
To be considered for SCAD study abroad programs, students must be in good standing with the university. Class standing, GPA and seat availability in courses are also factors for acceptance. Current students have priority; however, non-SCAD students may apply. In addition to submitting a completed application, students must have their course selections approved by their student success adviser or graduate adviser via an advising confirmation form. Students will be prompted by the application system to upload this form. Students interested in applying should schedule an appointment with their adviser prior to completing the application.
TRAVEL
Students should plan to book travel after the pre-departure orientation.
Please note: In accordance with the office of Residence Life and housing policy, all students studying abroad will be required to move out of their current SCAD residence and will not be permitted to move back in until the designated move-in dates for the next quarter.
