Boston U. does the same thing, with a program for people looking to learn web skills, etc. Anyone can join the program, but they will get some sort of certificate, not a BU degree.

Your post is totally false and ignorant!
Harvard Extension School may allow the public to take (many, but not all) individual classes, but they have very clear admission criteria for the degree programs.
Harvard Extension School is one of the 12 degree-granting schools within Harvard University.
To mind you, only around 2.5% of the class takers are able to earn degrees from the Extension School.
