siserune,
OMG. You are misleading everyone in this forum 100%. Your disdain for the Extension School is so evident, you do not even try to mask it.
First off, HES students CAN put on their CV that they received a Bachelors from Harvard University. They are not allowed to say that they received their Bachelors from Harvard COLLEGE. The proper way they wish for HES students to write it out on a resume is: ALB' 09 Economics, Harvard University.
The distinction is only made in the difference between AB and ALB. Only the Extension School offers an ALB and so it is proper for graduates to acknowledge that they received an ALB or an MLA from Harvard University.
Example:
Quote:
How can I present the ALM on my resume?
Harvard University offers the following degrees in Extension Studies:
Associate in Arts
Bachelor of Liberal Arts
Master of Liberal Arts
It is acceptable, therefore, to list the ALM degree on your resume in the following manner:
Harvard University, Master of Liberal Arts (ALM) in History
Unacceptable: Harvard University, MA in History

Secondly, the best thing about the Extension School is that its a work your way up program. You start at the bottom and gain entry as a special student into Harvard College and are designated a College. You have access to career services, libraries, clubs, organization, non-Ivy athletics such as club sports, pretty much everything except live in the dorms. Its a solid program for non-traditional students. Its NOT a substitute for the COLLEGE but its no University of Phoenix.
Last, before you continue making a fool out of yourself on this thread, you should look at most of the past Alumni bulletins. A lot of HES grads go on to top schools. Georgetown Law, NYU Law, Harvard Law, UC Berkeley MBA, MIT Comupter Science, Brown PhD, Carnegie Mellon MBA, Columbia PhD, and on and on. It's not just a "small" number.
