I just graduated with both.
The applied degree will get you credit for 4 of the 8 required modules for the SCMP designation. From what I've heard from employers, it is about a 50/50 split on recognition of either degree. The bba Also requires 10 more courses, and a LOT of them are open option BS. Both degrees are recognized I'd you want to go with a masters program, but the supply chain industry, especially oil and gas, are just starting to recognize the value of SCM related degrees. Traditionally experience trumps all, so your prior experience does help out a lot. You can also get credit for one of your DFS courses through the PLAR program, it costs about half as much but the chair of the program has to allow it (your experience has to be deemed relevant). The PLAR is a presentation and report showing what you learned about SCM in your job.
You can't go wrong with either really, but at the end of the day, networking will do way more than graduating. Pm me if you want more info on either of the programs.
