Don't misrepresent where you went to school.

I would take a Harvard Extension Degree over tons of big State University degrees myself.  Heck, I have done excellent with a Big three degree that most Americans have never heard of.

It depends on the field. I'd definitely choose Georgia Tech over Harvard Extension for anything related to IT or CS. It's cheaper, and you're learning at one of the best CS schools in the country.

There will always be exceptions. 
 
In general, I would rather have a Harvard's University Extension School degree than a Georgia Tech degree.  GT is not that well known.  Harvard is a World brand, and GT is not at that level nor will be in my lifetime.  For the great number of us, the Brand name and even college Major have little meaning in our careers. The level of degree does.  That was the case in my Army career and my second Federal career. 
 
When I just asked to have five weeks off to attend Harvard University EE programs next year (true story) my bosses were very supportive.  If I had asked them the same about GT, my same bosses would have said why?
 
Look at LinkedIn:
Harvard University: 239,540+ alumni and 846,909 followers on LinkedIn.
Georgia Institute of Technology: 150,994+ alumni and 248,004 followers on LinkedIn.

Georgia Tech is very well-known in the U.S. for STEM. It's common knowledge among people in tech that Harvard is not a top 10 school for engineering or CS.

Most people are not in the military, and most people in the workforce are going to be Milennials and Gen Z. A master's in general studies is not going to get you the same opportunities in tech as a bachelor's in CS. Not even in the federal government will an unrelated master's get you a GS-9 job in IT. If you don't have the degree, then you're going to need many years of experience. An unrelated master's would be worthless at that point.

If brand name is not important, then why would you spend 2.5 to 3 times the tuition for an unranked program that doesn't even have the best professors in your field?
