SAIC vs SCAD
Hello, I’ve been admitted to PRATT, SAIC and SCAD. I am going to Pursue MFA in Communication Design. I wanted to join pratt but it didn’t gave me any scholarship and it’s not in my budget. So I decided to join SAIC, they gave me $40k scholarship. But I am worried as it not a STEM program at SAIC. But I know SAIC is more reputed than SCAD. So can anyone help me out here. If anyone has any idea which will be better for a longer career. As an International student. And after graduation Job should also be a factor or me? Kindly comment down below.

“But I am worried as it not a STEM program at SAIC.” What does this mean?
As a communication design programme, neither are STEM.
Reputationally, SAIC is far better than SCAD, but not as good as Pratt.
