So close, pentest + is boring me to tears

So I'm in my second term for the masters program, and everything about this program was going great until the pentest + exam. I'm pretty senior in my role and wanted a grad degree to help round me out for future promotions (I don't have a tech undergrad).

I am loving everything about the program but this class is just boring me to tears. I have no desire to become a pentest professional, and while I fully understand the importance of red team stuff, I can't help but feel this test should be optional and replaced with a class on penetration testing.

I'm pretty surprised the cism isn't included in this program considering they advertise this program as a way to transition from tech to managerial and leadership level decision making.

Does anyone else have a similar experience? is it worth sharing my thoughts with the school.

I can't complain too much, though. I only have this test and the capstone left.
