HARVARD EXTENSION SCHOOL ???? Master of liberal arts in finance ????

Harvard EXT really isn't that bad as people claim it is around here.

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 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.

You monkeys can throw all the MS at me that you want; however, neither your MS nor your illogical trolling of HES will ever change the fact that you are trolls masquerading as monkeys. Your claims don't hold water. Quite frankly you are full of s***, which is proven by all the MS you seem to be able to keep throwing. Sad!

Coincidentally, I recently met a HES graduate who was a VP at JPMorgan in its "investments division." He was a pretty nice guy. He introduced me to his friends at BOAML. Say what you want about HES, but this Penn student likes them, even though the Eagles are playing the Patriots in a couple days. GO EAGLES!!
