Looks like Harvard Extension School increased their tuition cost

Thank you. I didn't know this. I thought it was for undergrads only.

No problem. The main reason I advise against the ALB is that it takes so long to do and if you go back for a masters, you have to go to a rigorous school to avoid watering down the impact of your ALB on your resume. If you go to one of the big three (or WGU) for an undergrad, you can finish in 6 months or a year with relative ease. You can then get your ALM in 3 years. This means you'd have a masters and bachelors in the same time it takes to complete the ALB. If you have a masters from HES, people aren't going to care that you went to a no-name college for undergrad. If you go to HES for undergrad and then attend a no-name college for grad school, they're going to assume you're on a downward trend.

I like this advice- it's better to finish strong. Makes you look like a rising star.
