Master Degree Question

[cookderosa]

I'm sorry, but I don't see the prestige of HES. To anyone that knows anything about the structure of academic institutions it is still an extension school which most will equate with the Con Ed side of a school. It isn't the same as attending Harvard by any means! I got some free CEU's through Texas A&M extension school, I don't consider that to mean I attended Texas A&M. I'm just saying, don't think you will be fooling anyone or impressing anyone, that you actually attended Harvard by attending HES.

Wow, I don't think I've ever disagreed with Marianne, but today is that day

The fact is, almost EVERY University of XYZ runs its online classes and or degrees through their community ed/professional studies/ extension divisions. Many people have no idea which college within a university their degree came from. In fact, many colleges offer the same degree title but from more than one college within the school.

Without looking, can you name 4 TESC colleges? Can you name your TESC college? Do TESC students distinguish that they are attending the Heavin School @ TESC (as opposed to the Edwards School @ TESC? Harvard University is Harvard University, there isn't any trickery. The degree is from Harvard University's Extension School. It's legit.

Here is a list from http://www.harvard.edu
