[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everybody knows Harvard extension is like the “Great Courses” dvd series. What these kids in the WSJ are doing is different. [/quote] What's the difference? Harvard Extension also has (or had) in-person classes taught by faculty. [/quote] I don't see the comparison at all. Or has Harvard Extension completely changed? There is no official transfer pathway and I suspect the chances of transferring in are extraordinarily low. There are no Harvard Extension dorms and living close by in Cambdridge off-campus is crazy expensive. It would be very hard to be part of the culture like the kids in this article. I do think Boston College has an official pathway program. I forget what it's called but it is considered a "backdoor" though I think it is more like Vancerbilt's Verto program, where you can't request it. It is offered to you instead of a flat-out rejection. But unlike the abroad programs it is close-by.[/quote]
