Additional education is not required to find a quality career position, but the Architectural Studies/CAD Program faculty does encourage the personal development of future goals and skills, and assuming positions of leadership and responsibility, within the profession. To do so, this program has transferred students directly from VU to several schools including SIU, Carbondale, Ill, IUPUI, Indianapolis, IN, Ball State, Muncie, IN, and Ferris State, Big Rapids, MI. There are other transfer possibilities, but these schools are where VU has previously placed graduates from the Architectural Studies/CAD Program.
