"Big 3" degree value?

All colleges at Harvard can be accessed through the drop down menu at the top of the mainpage. Harvard Home "www dot harvard dot edu" is the correct link.
Choose "continuing education" college and go from there. At that point, you can choose the Summer School (which is where you'll find the class list for the butt-in-seat summer classes, housing, and the degree search) or choose the Extension School (which is where you'll find fall and spring classes only). You'll need to use both divisions to complete any degree program through the continuing ed college. Feel free to create short-cut links to any pages you'd like to go back in and revisit.

The whole point of saying "go to Harvard" naturally implies that you think he looks down upon us or something, and being sarcastic implying that he could never go there. So naturally it created a confusion on the whole issue. Also, your link was to harvard.edu, not the website for harvard extension, so it created further confusion there. I mean, let's be honest about this.

Haha I started a riot lol... I'll look in to taking classes online and traditional... you only have to take one traditional class and the rest can be online and you get the full living allowance... I'd just have to find a 2 schools that agree with each other.

Then again I think harder classes like Calculus would be a lot easier with a teacher to physically talk to, but I suppose I could take the hard classes the traditional way...

Well, it's certainly more real than reality TV.

i'll stop, chalk it up as a misunderstanding, i really have nothing to do with this conflict.

by the way, if you need math review I highly recommend using ALEKS, google it. You can get credit for their courses (they don't offer calculus though) and it's an excellent way to learn math. In fact, better than a classroom because the explanations are concise and extremely well thought out, it's like having a professional tutor.

Copy that. All those sociology classes can't compare to this inside view of human nature.

Excelsior, Thomas Edison State College and Charter Oak...

How are these degrees regarded by employers when compared to a "regular" 4 year degree?

I know a lot of people on here go for these "big 3" online schools so you will probably be biased, but I was just wondering and I can't really find any reliable information online.

So if I got a degree from a traditional public college, like Virginia State University for example, in accounting, how would this compare to an accounting degree from one of the "big 3?"

Thanks

As I have shared in the past, I work for a technical center. We have a practical nursing course and the instructors are required to have at least a masters degree. When I told the department head, who was originally from New York about 20 years ago, not only recognized the name but said it was highly regarded in the nursing community.

Don't know if that helps anyone.
