Is WashU- University College same as Harvard Extension?

Hello!

I was wondering about the credibility for WashU- University College. This part of the school is a program that is for “busy people” and offers night classes. Similar concept to Extension School, NYU SPS, Northwestern SPS, etc. When you search up these schools, usually there is a “bad stigma” involved in discussions and people do not rate them as highly.

My question is, have you heard of this school? And if so, what do you think about it? (They offer diploma that doesn’t have “extension” or any other distinction. They offer diploma under arts & sciences so it seems more credible)

There is no “bad stigma” attached to any of these programs which serve real needs very well for their students. But they are not designed for kids straight out of high school.
