Don't misrepresent where you went to school.

But honestly, I don't care where I went to school, I just care that as I get back out in the workforce, I have a degree.  Period, end of story.  Prestige won't get me any further than a no-name school when I'm trying to get my resume looked at by a computer or hiring manager.  Just having the degree is enough.

BTW - when companies put job descriptions out, none of them say "business degree required, one from Harvard is preferable."  Nope, they say "business degree required."  I've never seen a school listed as the one they care about.  Most don't (probably 99%).

Of course. This is exactly the reason why I'm not paying $33k to pretend I'm special

Recruiters do search based on school though, and the hiring manager will certainly take the school you attended into consideration. In most cases, they'll funnel your school into four categories: no-named school, a local school they're familiar with, a school known for a sports program, or a prestigious school. Of the four, I would definitely put HES in the latter category, regardless of level of prestige you believe the degree warrants.
