Despite the naysayers, I'm officially one year in on a four-year journey to get an ALM in Anthropology from the Extension School and was just officially admitted to the program after proving I could do it. All of my professors have been Harvard professors - I wanted a quality education by the best. This has been a dream since I graduated high school and joined the military, because I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with my life, despite my academic success in school. All of my classes have had both undergrad and graduate students, domestic and international, from both the Extension School and the College. The networking opportunities in the past year have been insane. I'm an almost 50 year old mom of four, working full time, who is also working her tail off to continue my education while raising my children. I do not have the luxury of spending all day on a college campus in a different state than I live. The work load is not less, the grading difficulty is not less (it's less for the undergrads), and my gratitude that any prestigious school would even think to have an opportunity like this available for me could not possibly be less. Perhaps this info will help people form better-educated opinions.
Thanks for posting. Best of luck to you!
