I have to chime in on this. HES is 100% the “real Harvard.” It’s one of the 12 degree granting schools of Harvard and is more than 100 years old. Is it Harvard College? No, but neither is the Harvard Kennedy School and that’s still “real Harvard.”
HES is the second largest degree granting school st Harvard University, graduates receive Harvard University degrees at Harvard Commencement in Harvard Yard alongside all other Harvard Schools, and the president of the graduate student government is an HES student right now. Harvard College students can take over 200 HES classes for credit in the Summer, and many classes are virtually identical, including faculty, to the classes taught in other Harvard schools.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
