Hey Michael,
Looking through these (the second especially) it seems like you were very against the idea of a non-ID student going through an ID masters. However, that thread was 8 years ago, and programs change. I also noticed that no_spec mentioned a few days ago in another thread that Pratt does a good job in tailoring their masters program for a career change.
I’m wondering if your opinion has changed at all since then, and if it varies between types of non-design degrees? I see that coffeekicker has a bachelors in business, which, depending on internship experience, could provide a different perspective on design. Personally, I’m finishing my mechanical engineering degree before I make the switch, so I’m still working on building a portfolio and keeping my eye on the boards for advice in the meantime. I’m assuming these would be much different than say an english or chemistry degree.
