I found out you can do a concentration in Leadership, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, or Supply Chain Logistics.
There's a good job market for Supply Chain Management, so I applied. I'm going to go for that concentration and see if I like the coursework. If not, I'll switch to one of the other two and check them out.
I'm willing to burn the monthly tuition and exam fees to test out the Independent Study program and guinea pig it. I'll report back to the forum with as much detail as I can and see if I can provide a roadmap for future people with alt-credits who need a cheap box-check degree and might be able to get one affordably via the Professional Studies program.
Besides the academics... I have actually been to the Purdue campus and have Purdue alumni friends in Lafayette/W. Lafayette I met/worked with through my last job. It might be fun to have a real life connection to a University, and have a personal stake in yelling at the TV during ballgames. I didn't really get any of that out of COSC. Plus there could be value in future alumni association networking. That stuff might not be important to some people depending on their education goals, but I like having an emotional connection and being part of something. It's got value to me.
Maybe it'll amount to nothing. We'll see how it goes.
