The articulation agreement established between GVSU and Kendall College of Art and Design (KCAD) at Ferris State University establishes a pathway for students to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) majoring in Interdisciplinary Engineering – Architectural Emphasis from GVSU and a Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) from KCAD in one fewer year than would be possible without the articulation.

TIMELINE OF APPLICATION

Interested candidates should reach out to the chair of the Interdisciplinary Engineering Program Committee, Dr. Ryan Krauss prior to prior to enrolling in EGR 289 or applying for secondary admission into the Interdisciplinary Engineering program. When the student applies for secondary admission into the upper division of the Interdisciplinary Engineering program, they must also apply for conditional admission into the M.Arch. program at KCAD.
