The mission of Continuing Studies at SAIC is to provide an education that harnesses the transformative power of a leading art and design school, a world-renowned museum, and a vibrant city to support the development of critical thinking, rigorous investigation, and playful creativity.
CS students join the SAIC community with numerous identities that impact and inform their everyday experiences. This includes their race, ethnicity, age, gender, sex, political affiliation, skin color, and so many more individual characteristics that foster a diverse group of accepting and understanding makers and thinkers.
It is vital that every member of the Continuing Studies community is shown true respect and care. SAIC's community members embrace mutual respect, understanding, and inclusivity. We do not condone behaviors that undermine these values, any form of harassment, or discrimination toward any member of our community. Remember that your interactions contribute to others’ stories and that we all play a key role in ensuring that each individual is safe and cared for. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our team if you have any concerns related to harassment or discrimination on campus.
