[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds as though Harvard University is the one running the grift here, if one buys your assumption (which is probably incorrect) that their online programs are not legitimate.[/quote]

DYK how many places run these programs? Columbia has one in general studies, believe same @ Penn. So many schools have them. Heck, does USDA still run an extension school? That said, they are extension programs.[/quote]

Harvard’s extension school is over 100 years old and was created for the working people in Boston who couldn’t go to college during the day.  They are all taught by Harvard professors

plenty of universities have these programs. Yale has a physicians assistant Program at night separate from the school working with themYale Medical school. Online classes and on-site requirements.

Columbia has night school classes in certain degrees where students go at their own pace. Stanford,Penn, Duke, Brown, Northwestern and many many more.

What is wrong with catering to non-traditional students who might want a change in career or to get a better job but can’t spend all day at school with 18 year olds.

Universities are in the business of education.   It’s exactly what they’re doing.

There are no scholarships... It's a cash grab [/quote]

Nearly all colleges offer this kind of education.

For which colleges that offer it is it a "cash grab", and for which is it a reasonable offer?

Please answer.  But I know you won't.[/quote]

Are all colleges Harvard?  NP here.

So the rules are different for Harvard?  I’m no Harvard fan but that is ridiculous.[/quote]
