You don't need to be a defense attorney. The only person you have to validate COSC to is yourself. As you know, it is a RA school within the Connecticut State university system just like UNC Chapel Hill is a RA school within the North Carolina university system. All schools cannot be in the top 100 schools in the USA and all grads cannot come from Ivy League or well-known colleges.
I agree with everyone who said to be quiet. Every time you open your mouth, you become a target for everyone who wants to prove their alma mater is the better school or belittle you for not finishing your degree right out of high school. When you want to talk about what you're doing, come here.
When I do talk about it (which is very rare), I tell people I'm taking the courses for grad school which I didn't take the first time around. They rarely every ever ask where I'm going or which courses I'm taking.
Last but not least, your friends in teaching positions are most likely learning that the trend is toward online learning, even at B&M schools. They most likely feel very threatened by that, either b/c they don't understand the benefits, feel they will lose control or lose their jobs all together. Almost every RA college or university offering 4-year degrees (in the USA) accepts some CLEP, DSST and/or offers some of their classes online. Just b/c the old profs can't acclimate to the winds of change doesn't give it any less credence.
