Its Worthless.
You'd be better off spending the money on a sex change and blow your way into IBD than getting in through a MLS from the Extension School.
UTDFinanceGuy Despite the fact that Harvard Extension School has a unique admissions process, HES has a 32% acceptance rate, which is far more selective than most private American colleges in addition to most top 10 public universities. So, it is not completely useless, dude. You just perceive that it is useless because you either don't like non-traditional students, don't like Harvard, or don't like HES's unique admissions process, which forces students to progress towards graduation by proving themselves.
Found the kid who doesn't want to believe his HES degree will be worthless
Howard Hughes Dude, you must not know how to read. I am a UPenn student.
No, I just can call BS when I see it. If you're supposedly a Penn student, why do you give such a flying fuck about HES? 32% isn't that selective (which I don't even know how you can say that if you are "going to Penn"), especially considering those students are probably in general not going to be as impressive as candidates to other top schools, because they most likely couldn't get in anywhere else even remotely similar to real Harvard (or probably any other top 20-25 school) so they have to settle for HES.
Howard Hughes Wow, your comments are so nasty that they reek of troll. You replied to one of my comments saying something like "chill out," yet you are the one using profanity. You are so bothered by Harvard Extension that you said "I found the kid..." referring to me, mistakingly pegging me as a HES student when I am a Penn student.
The reason why I say anything about Yale EWSP, Columbia GS, Brown RUE, or Harvard EXT is because I have a lot of friends in these programs who have it tough enough. They don't need it any harder, so when I see wrong information, I correct it.
By the way, who are you to say a HES degree is worthless? Your grammar is off, you make erroneous public statements based on your personal prejudices, and you are most likely still a student yourself, which destroys your credibility when you say stuff like HES is "worthless."
You mean Penn, right? I mean, you are a Penn student after all.
Harvard EXT really isn’t that bad as people claim it is around here.
Matrick Are you an employer?
Currently a HES student in the Finance ALM program. The classes/professors are definitely hit or miss. Not sure how the Finance community or employers in general view the degree, but I will push back on Howard Hughes statement that people who go to HES do so because they can't get into a better school. As an active duty military guy, lining up B-school depends a lot on separation timing. I chose HES because it was the best program in the area that allowed me to further my goals while still working full-time. When the timing lined up, I applied to B-school and was accepted to an MBA business schools">M7.
As a ALM Management graduate, I can say that the quality of the coursework is great especially for the cost. Many professors come straight from Harvard (HLS, HBS included) or other top schools.
Post-graduation, your mileage may vary. If you get a 3.5+ GPA, you may be eligible for Harvard College's Undergraduate Career fair for entry-level positions. As for Harvard Extension's career fair, many prestigious firms take a hard pass. As an Extension student at Harvard University, you'll have to work much harder versus the other schools at Harvard to land a position in high-finance if you don't already have substantial experience and solid credentials from undergrad.
