HES is not segregated. Harvard University houses many colleges, as is typical for large research universities, and HES is inside of the Harvard Continuing Education College. It's no more segregated than any of their programs. EVERY HU degree comes from one of their colleges inside the university.
I mean segregated in that they aren't allowed to get degrees from the corresponding departments like one would at Penn State World Campus and hundreds of other schools. Instead, they get degrees in Extension Studies with a concentration so that they can be branded as different.
? "So that" Really? It's not "so that they can be branded as different" it's because of the college at the university they graduated from.
