Harvard Extension School Students Rally for Degree Name Change

[Thorne]

When it takes less effort to explain what my Spanish titulo propio degrees are to someone that doesn't understand the concept, that is a problem. Either what the degree says needs to make sense to someone that has a life outside of Harvard circle jerks or the decimal point needs to be moved so it is priced like a degree that takes 3 minutes to explain to a normal person.

This is my problem too. I don't want to drop $40k on a Master's at this point, but I don't want to spend that much money and time and effort on something that will require me to a) explain the meaning of my major every time I speak about it or b) violate Harvard's standards for applications. Given the choice, frankly, I would simply violate their standards because they really don't have the means or ability to regulate that, especially where I live and with the people I'd be working for, but the better choice is to stay away until they fix their policies.
