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.

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.

• GPA of 2.7 or above in the Engineering Foundation courses
• Completion of each course in the Engineering Foundation with a grade of C (2.0) or above, with no more than one repeat
• Completion of preparation for placement in the co-operative engineering education, EGR 289

• Online application
• 2.7 undergraduate GPA
• GVSU transcript (it can be unofficial)
• Completion of all GVSU course requirements in the first two years of the articulation agreement prior to beginning M.Arch. classes in fall of the third year

Note: While completing the engineering foundation courses in the freshman and sophomore years, it is recommended that General Education Historical Analysis and Global Perspectives be taken in preparation for the first M.Arch. courses taken at KCAD in the junior year.
