Harvard Extension

Is a graduate degree in Finance/ International Relations from Harvard Extension School respected?

What is your career goal? From your other threads it appears you are a community college student looking to transfer. These programs are graduate degrees so are not available to you until you have a bachelors degree first.

Your threads have asked about whether Columbia CGS can get you into IB, and you applied to Cornell IRL for transfer and have asked about the Cornell hotel school. Your questions are all over the place except that you consistently ask about Ivy League schools. These schools are extremely hard to get into.

You need to decide what your you really want to do and aim at schools that are more realistic as targets for transfer.

Hello,
For this particular thread, I wanted to know if a master’s degree from Harvard Extension School is prestigious. And I do know that one needs to have a Bachelor’s degree to attend a graduate school. I am planning on applying to the Extension School once I graduate with a Bachelor’s.

As far as my other threads go, I am considering applying both to Cornell and Columbia GS as a transfer.

These all threads are different. Instead of pointing me things that I am already aware of, I would really appreciate if you could help me with the thread about HES, if you have knowledge or experience about HES.

Thanks!

What do you mean by prestigious? Will it impress your friends and neighbors? I guess so if they are the type of people that get impressed by college names.

Employers will know the difference. They will not confuse a graduate finance degree from the extension school with a Harvard MBA, though in itself it will probably have value. Will it have more value than a graduate finance degree from BU or BC, for example? I doubt it.

An MBA from BU or BC would definitely be viewed more favorably than a graduate degree from the Extension School, in my opinion.

HES is focused on part time students although there are some full time students.
