Fibers is one of 18 majors at the Savannah College of Art and Design.  The fibers curriculum is diverse, balancing industry-oriented courses and experimental, fine art courses.  Fibers professors emphasize aesthetic and conceptual development based on a strong technical foundation.  High-tech methodology and hand processes are taught side-by-side.  Innovation is encouraged at every level.

Graduates are prepared for a variety of careers in fibers, from designing textiles to producing commissioned fine-art works.  In addition to pursuing fine art and teaching, SCAD fibers graduates are working at companies such as Liz Claiborne Blumenthal Printworks, Wesley Mancini Ltd., Milliken, Cone Decorative Fabrics, Doblin Fabrics, Valdese Weavers, and other textile design firms.

At the undergraduate level, a strong foundation program prepares students with essential drawing and design skills.  In fibers courses students gain aesthetic and technical proficiency as well as an understanding of historic and contemporary trends in textile.  After a core group of fibers courses that introduces students to weaving, surface design. three-dimensional fibers, and computer-aided textile design, students pursue areas of interest through electives and a series of senior studio courses.
