Regarding the comment "Will a degree from Excelsior allow you to walk right into an MA program at Harvard?"

The answer is Yes. Harvard's extension school is open to BA/BS holders...and if you get B's in 3 graduate level classes, you're admitted.

e.g.

Note the part where they say 'Possess a regionally accredited bachelor’s degree'.

Seems like the big 3 are good enough for Harvard Masters too!
