Why does he not list that his degree is in extension studies--or is in any way affiliated with HES on his LinkedIn? It's great that you're going back to get an education, but let's not conflate HES with GSAS, HBS, HLS, etc. It's the difference between a 100% acceptance rate with the rigor of Purdue global and a graduate degree where you interact with other people who went through the same selective process.

Come on dude， your requirement is very high. A degree from Harvard, especially whatever bachelor or master, is none of the business for 99.99% people. You can’t even get into Harvard with in serveral generations if you are not from the so-called “elite family”. HES, of course it’s not the best choice, but at least give so many people the chance to Harvard, until now the bees university in the world. Well, it’s not perfect, but it’s a ticket. Maybe your son do have chance enroll the degree you what expect in the future.

He does note it on his LinkedIn. Which school do you go to, and why do you care so much?
