School of Art & Design at Montgomery College: The School of Art + Design (SA+D) is an innovative transfer program at Montgomery College. The program offers a rigorous, highly structured, portfolio-intensive "art school" experience for college students majoring in studio art or graphic design and noncredit students seeking new or improved skills in fine and digital arts.
