School offers New Visual Arts and Architecture program
UDM has partnered with the University of Windsor (UW) to create a new program combining the study of visual arts and architecture. The program, Visual Arts and the Built Environment, or VABE, brings together students from UW's School of Visual Arts and UDM's School of Architecture to study the design of the built environment from the position of both artist and architect.
The first cohort of students is currently in the program. Upon completion of the program they will have earned a four-year Bachelor's of Fine Arts (BFA). However, at the end of three years into the program, interested students may pursue an architecture degree at UDM. UDM will accept qualified students into the fourth year of their B.Sc. in Architecture program after successfully completing three years in the VABE program. You can find the VABE program site at www.vabe.ca.
After a signing ceremony in Windsor, University of Windsor President Alan Wildeman came to UDM's School of Architecture, Sept. 23 to sign the documents to create the new Visual Arts and the Built Environment (VABE) program, a partnership between UDM and University of Windsor. Pictured at the signing ceremony are Wildeman (left) and UDM President Gerard L. Stockhausen, S.J., seated before a group of VABE students.
