Ivy League online degrees

Neutral, keep on taking those classes! Perhaps they have some offerings in English and reading comprehension.

If you're a product of the online schools, that just proves the opinions in this thread...

It is a waste of time talking to you -- ignorant! Do you only want to ridicule yourself?

I have earned my graduate degree from Harvard through the Extension School.
I have the privilege to involve in many (Harvard) clubs on campus and am working at the university.

If you can't even see this, your intelligence and research ability is lower than a 3th grader.

1) It is painfully evident that you received your degree from the Harvard Extension School.

2) Why are you involved in clubs on campus if you're a graduate?

3) It doesn't surprise me that someone with an extension degree works at the school they earned the degree from.

4) The website STILL doesn't mention admissions criteria -- you have to earn Bs in your first three classes to be considered a degree candidate. Big whoop. That doesn't negate the fact that there are no ADMISSIONS standards and that if you want to be down, you just sign up.

5) Hussy!

I am involved in the clubs because I like to and I can. I am WORKING at the university.

You are funny. When the admission criteria are up front, you say there are no admission criteria. Applicants need to do honors-lever coursework in the prerequisites at Harvard, not your high school or undergrad courses. And that's not the only thing you will need to get in. What are the admission standards when other universities/schools don't even require to take the prerequisites to apply?

But where are they up front? And where does it say that you need to take Harvard undergrad courses before you can enroll in the extension school?

Am i talking to a 3rd grader?

The "Degrees and Certificates" page has listed all degrees and certificates programs the school offers. Each program has its specific admission criteria spelled out.

For the programs, can anyone be turned away if they meet all the prerequisites?

Not getting into the substance of this argument, but KSigKid is probably one of the smartest people I've encountered on an internet message board. You lost a bunch of credibility with that statement.

So, basically, the Harvard program is open to the general public and no one can be turned away as long as they've taken the prerequisite courses and achieved B averages. Whereas at a traditional university, not everyone is accepted to enroll. Right?

No. It does not say you will be admitted "as long as..." It says you "must."

Only 2.5% of the course takers are able to earn the degrees, certificates, or diplomas from the Extension School anyway.

Ok, so you must meet the prerequisites and if you do you must be admitted to the school. It is non-competitive?

ETA: Neutral, look, the Harvard Extension whatever is an OPEN ENROLLMENT night program that any ole body can get into if they bother to skim through a few lower-level college courses. The "graduates" of this program receive an education of sorts (or else there were be no point in having professors/teachers) but they are by no means on an educational par with graduates of the real Harvard University nor could they possibly have the Harvard experience. For a graduate of the night program to even hint that he/she has received a Harvard education is pathetic.

If a person wants to go to the night program because he/she didn't have a chance to finish college, that's awesome! However, for that same person to put "Harvard" on a resume is stupid and misleading.

Where are you getting 2.5%?
