Okay I know it's crazy, but hear me out....
Assuming I had all the credits to do so, ready to transfer in - what's the cost of getting an Interdisciplinary degree in English/Communications at COSC? Or perhaps Literature/Communications/Psychology? There's no additional cornerstone required. So it would just be the capstone course(s) and associated fees, correct? What's the cost of that?
Now the bigger question is: What would represent a "logical distribution" of credits to fill out the Areas of Concentration (English, Communications). Anyone got any idea on how "picky" they are about that breadth and depth clause?
"The 18 upper level credits must represent a logical distribution from various disciplines in the concentration. The concentration needs to show breadth and depth in each subject area chosen."
Anyone got any idea on how "picky" they are about that breadth and depth clause? Can you go really heavy on one, light on the other? Cram almost all your UL in one subject and only one or two in another?
Some of the jobs I'm interested in call for a degree in communications or journalism. Business Administration just isn't quite the fit for where I want to go career-wise, although it seemed like a good flexible degree at the time. I wasn't really sure on how Interdisciplinary worked, or else I would've absolutely done a Business Administration/Communications degree the first time around.
What got me thinking about this was that I watched the COSC commencement ceremony livestream (viewable here: https://youtu.be/ZKubub4wWmg) and was surprised that one of the speakers receiving an honorary doctorate was Peter Reinhart. A baking expert/author/James Beard Award-winner that I know and have worked with/collaborate with IRL. It was a holy crap/small world moment.
I had no idea he was a COSC alum. His wikipedia page lists that he has a degree in Communications, Literature and Psychology from COSC. I started thinking, "Dang... that checks like three boxes! Why didn't I think to do that?"
Or maybe it's a dumb idea and wouldn't have nearly the effect I think it would.
