OP, think of this in terms of years instead of credits.? When I have a question about what states want, I look at this:
http://www.ncarb.org/Getting-an-Initial-License/Registration-Board-Requirements/Initial-Registration-Requirements.aspx
For being an architectural entity, their spacing is piss poor and this is hard to read.? Scroll down to questions 5, 6, and 7.? It indicates 5 years of experience for a B.A./B.S. in architecture and it indicates 12 years with a high school education.? So, you're in a blend zone.? Then look at this, which is also linked above:
http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/arch/archlic.htm
Scroll down to Education Requirements.? It looks like if you get your degree classified as Category G, you need 10 years of experience.? If you get your degree classified as Category H, you need 8 years of experience.? I'm sure they've had applicants from Parsons, so the State Board will readily be able to tell you.
And secondly, those going into an M.Arch 1 from an unrelated field do not have as much developed graphic sense the B.Arch's who spend most of their first two years in foundation studios that allow them to explore methods of representation. Im sorry, but even if you had a class for one semester as an M.Arch1 in graphic representation, how the hell are you supposed to hit the ground running if you dont have a background in architecture?? And by methods of represetation, I dont mean studying CAD and Rhino...
Bulgar, while I disagree on your overall stance, I do agree with you on this, and experts weigh in on this much the same way.? I call it the "tea bag steeping" syndrome.? The 5 year B.Arch. can spend the first year and second year developing their graphic sense and then concentrate on design quality more heavily from years 3 through 5.? The M.Arch. 1, over 3.5 years, has 1 or 2 terms in which to accomplish that.? Some students don't do a good job of doing that.? However, if they are able to merge into the mindset somewhere in the 2nd year, they'll be fine.? Students coming from any background involving visual creativity make the transition to competence in graphics quite well.? Even those from other fields can make the leap.? However, your stance on 4+2 is absurd.? In Canada, it is the only model.? In the U.S., if you want to commute from home, and you live in Buffalo, Albuquerque, or Oakland/Berkeley, it looks like you'll be doing a 4+2 and probably have more money in your pocket at the end, and more varied experiences, than someone doing a B.Arch.? Pencil it out.
