The Savannah College of Art and Design Bees (or SCAD Savannah Bees or Savannah College of Art and Design Savannah Bees) are the athletic teams that represent the Savannah campus of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD Savannah), located in Savannah, Georgia, in intercollegiate sports as a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA),[1] primarily competing in the Sun Conference (formerly known as the Florida Sun Conference (FSC) until after the 2007–08 school year) since the 2004–05 academic year;[2] The Bees previously competed as an NAIA Independent during the 2003–04 school year (which they were a member on a previous stint from 1987–88 (when the school began intercollegiate athletics) to 1991–92); as well as a member of the Division III ranks of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as an NCAA D-III Independent from 1992–93 to 2002–03.
As a college of Art and Design, the school offers a sports lineup unlike most colleges. Its Savannah location is one of the few colleges in the United States to offer a competitive equestrian program.[3] SCAD Savannah previously sponsored basketball, but dropped the sport after the 2008–09 season.[4]
