Harvard Extension School Students Rally for Degree Name Change

[davewill]

But if an employer does a background check, Harvard will say your degree is this:
"Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies"
It won't list your concentration. And if I'm not wrong (someone can correct me), Harvard won't show your concentration on the actual diploma either.

That part's not unusual, and what it says on your diploma isn't really material as nobody except you (and the people who look at it hanging on your wall) ever sees it. My diploma from TESU just says "Bachelor of Arts". You have to go to my transcript to see that it was in Computer Science.

For TESU if you get a Business Administration degree, it will say on the diploma "Bachelor of Science in Business Administration."

Yes, but it won't mention your concentration, like marketing, accounting, etc...

But doesn't the HES transcript ALSO say Bachelors/Masters of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies? I think that's the issue. That means nothing; it's a joke. Obviously the school name should remain as is --- that is distinction enough from "real" Harvard. Further delegitimization through degree concentration tomfoolery is punitive and... Silly.

I know. I already said that part was BS. I was just commenting on the concentration not being on the diploma.
