The Savannah College of Art and Design Bees are the athletic teams for Savannah College of Art and Design at their locations in Savannah and Atlanta. The Savannah teams are a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA),[1] primarily competing in The Sun Conference.[2] The Atlanta school also competes in the NAIA, within the Appalachian Athletic Conference. As a college of Art and Design, the school offers a sports lineup unlike most colleges. It is one of the few colleges in the United States to offer a competitive equestrian program,[3] and is unlikely to ever compete in some of the typical college sports, such as basketball or football.
