I've been accepted to the M.Arch Emergent Technologies program at the AA, as well as several other schools in the US. I really like the AA program as it specifically focuses on biomimicry and computational design, however, I'm worried about getting licensed in the US afterwards since it isn't an NAAB accredited program. Does anyone have experience coming back to be licensed in the US with a degree from the AA? What's the process like and how likely is it to work? I don't want to attend the AA if I don't know for sure I can get licensed afterwards in the US. The EmTech program is also 16 months as compared to the traditional US 2 or 3.5year M.Arch programs.

You have to apply to get the degree-work accepted - sense only the 2 year part 2 programmes have a chance at acceptance.
With EmTech or any non-professional UK programmes, your chances are slim.
