Where It Begins
The Architectural Studies/CAD program at Vincennes University offers a vast array of courses which enhance your learning experience including manual and computer-generated drafting, rendering techniques, architectural history and design studios. In addition, required electives taken outside our program reinforce our goal of providing a college education where students can explore what inspires them and build upon a solid foundation.
While course work is comprehensive in scope, each course has its own important role in developing the unique knowledge and abilities required of employees in the architectural world. A wide-variety of courses are taught using the latest software and equipment to produce a well-rounded student ready for their career.
