Corporate Credit Risk Analysis

I've learned from this forum that a credit risk analyst is back office, whereas a credit analyst is front office and allows for a somewhat smooth transition to equity research/buyside Fixed Income shops. My question for you guys is, do you think a corporate credit risk analysis course would teach me relevant things for front office jobs/investing in general? The course fits into my schedule beautifully, even though I'd rather take a more interesting finance elective.

Not sure I'm understanding your question - first you talk about jobs then a finance course. A corporate credit risk course could be relevant if you're interested in working in the credit markets at some point.

I am transitioning from credit risk to fixed income AM.
