The SAE Institute is a private educational institution specializing in creative media industries. Founded in 1976, it operates globally with campuses in multiple countries, offering courses in audio engineering, film production, animation, and other digital media fields.
Unlike public universities funded by governments, SAE is privately owned and operates on a for-profit basis. It provides vocational training and degree programs, often in partnership with accredited universities, but remains an independent entity. Students typically pay higher tuition fees compared to public institutions, reflecting its private status and specialized training model.
