$10,000 Degrees in Texas

I could have worded it better, but everyone will know that you did not go through the same admissions process as other Harvard students. If you did, your degree would have come from Harvard College. The fact that the extension school is the only one that accepts CLEPs makes it even more different from the rest of Harvard University. Penn State makes no distinction between its online and on campus programs. It's just me personally, but I'd rather earn my degree by distance at a school that accepts me as an equal and I wouldn't have to deal with accusations that I'm trying to pass off a Harvard extension school degree as being as prestigious as a Harvard College degree.

Sounds like your more motivated by the perception of strangers than the quality of your own education. I just don't see things this way. I've witnessed firsthand the quality fundamental education offered by HES. I see the value that's being imparted. HES isn't for everyone...but its a great place for a select few. (BTW, admittance to the degree program is self selective...but far from easy or "open" admissions. HES is different no doubt about that).
