Article bashes Harvard Extension ALM Grad
#44
Cross posting from another HES discussion:

I have to chime in on this.  HES is 100% the “real Harvard.”  It’s one of the 12 degree granting schools of Harvard and is more than 100 years old.  Is it Harvard College?  No, but neither is the Harvard Kennedy School and that’s still “real Harvard.”  

HES is the second largest degree granting school st Harvard University, graduates receive Harvard University degrees at Harvard Commencement in Harvard Yard alongside all other Harvard Schools, and the president of the graduate student government is an HES student right now.  Harvard College students can take over 200 HES classes for credit in the Summer, and many classes are virtually identical, including faculty, to the classes taught in other Harvard schools.

Harvard started it by directing HES students to make it clear that they're HES students and giving the programs weird degree titles. So, it's really Harvard that doesn't want HES graduates to be mixed up with the rest of Harvard. 
This is all schools at Harvard.  They make a big deal that everyone has a different degree based on school, so if I know your degree I know your school (because everyone, including Extension, have their degrees awarded by Harvard University, not by the school).  

Only the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences can issue a Master of Science or a Master if Arts, for example.  The Graduate School of Design issues a Master of Architecture, the Graduate School of Education issues a Master of Education, the Chan School of Public Policy issues a Master of Public Policy, and the Extension School issues a Master of Liberal Arts.  There are a few exceptions but that’s by and large how it works.
