Strength of architectural design courses in art dpt and scenography-oriented ones in drama dpt?

Does anyone here have experience or familiarity with architectural design courses in Vassar’s art department and scenography-oriented ones in the college’s drama department? If so, might you be able to comment on how strong they are and whether they could prepare someone for grad school or a career in architectural design or theatrical scenography?

I’m also interested in learning how such courses compare with similar ones at Middlebury. I am may apply EDII to Vassar or Middlebury, and this information could help me decide which school to choose.

I really appreciate anyone sharing whatever knowledge they have.
