How do you know this? Is this one of your "facts." Please tell me who you spoke to and when. Again, it seems you come across stating opinion as fact."</p>
<p>Response:I am sure that you are aware of the disgruntled professor who posted a web site about SCAD's failings. He might have been both disgruntled and a little bit nuts;however, he did get quite a following. His site was mentioned on various Live Journal forums and and other forums. Again, it is not whether he was crazy or disgruntled,but his information did get out to the main stream public. Whenever I check on any art program, I personally always check on their NASAD accreditation. I am sure that others feel the same way.</p>
<p>Oh Yes, schools can still hold to high standards without being NASAD accredited, in answer to your query. However, just like kids can still be great college material even if they don't get high SATS, college don't usually take chances on these types of kids unless they are applying for majors that are not SAT related such as art or music. SCAD may be terrific, and in fact, honestly seems to have great offerings, but I, and others like me, don't want to take chances on non NASAD accredited schools. Obviously, there are people who will. However, it certainly seems to be to the benefit of SCAD to obtain, achieve, acquire, or whatever word you wish, NASAD accreditation.</p>
