There are probably many schools that employers never heard of. Why do they need to be "explained" in the context of other schools? How is it helpful to mention Columbia when you are trying to "explain" what Barnard College is? If you really want to "explain" it, you would say it's an all girls LAC in Manhattan whose notable graduates are Joan Rivers or whomever....

When people say they never heard of Oberlin College (where my daughter graduated from), I never mention the Conservatory because she didn't go/apply to the conservatory which has completely different acceptance criteria from the College. It certainly doesn't help "explain" anything about the college.
