Switching to Social Org Psych at Columbia super late in the game?

[IsabellaBlue]

Hi all,

Wondering if any of you have input/advice about my current situation, especially those of you who may have switched programs at some point in time: 

I'm currently in the Organizational Change Management program at The New School. The program focuses on organization development; it's not quite I chose the program because it seemed like a unique and innovative approach to organization development and management, and I liked The New School's values. I'm only 9 credits away from completing my degree, after this semester. It's heavily consulting-oriented which I find interesting. However, I've been profoundly disappointed with the overall quality and rigor of the program. Most of the professors I've had have not updated their curricula since the 90's, and are still using articles and books from the 70's about topics like data collection and management. I mean seriously. I understand  the importance gaining a foundation in the classics/founders of the field of organization development, but so much has changed since then, I feel like I'm being significantly shortchanged by this curriculum. I've brought this up in multiple classes and am met with defensiveness and closed-mindedness from the professors, and advice about doing my own research and finding my own materials. Willing to do this of course, but I feel like the main curriculum is actively obstructing my learning. This isn't what I had in mind when I enrolled. 

For context, here is the curriculum: http://www.newschool.edu/public-engagement/ms-organizational-change-management-degree-requirements/

So, I feel this is my last chance to switch gears, if that's what I decide to do. I've been seriously considering Columbia's social-organizational psychology master's, which I get the impression is more current and rigorous than my current program. My main trepidation, of course, is whether it is worth it to switch gears this late in the game.  It looks like I'll be able to transfer some credits, but obviously not all. So, I need to decide if it's worth it to pay more money and spend even more time in school when I'm so close to a degree, however dissatisfied I am with it. I'm considering switching for several reasons:

1) I want a more academically rigorous environment (I do not feel challenged at The New School)

2) I want a degree from a well-respected school in a recognizable field (nobody knows what organizational change management means)

3) My head is going to explode if I have to stay in the same classroom as these dinosaurs for another semester. 

But, are these good enough reasons to switch? I don't know. Only I can make that decision. But I could use advice from anyone who has ever been in a similar situation. Did you stick with your program? Switch? Happy/sad with your decision? Thanks for any input, I'm pretty lost.
