Well actually you can. The degree is listed as from harvard along with the program. Getting accepted is a joke all you need is a undergraduate gpa of a 3.0.

I can't seem to find this. Is it Harvard Extension School or actual Harvard?

(Not to diminish the extension school; I have a credit from it and I was satisfied at the quality of instruction, but the admissions is definitely not the same as Harvard admission)

The point is that HES is a degree "from Harvard".

Are you saying that all you need to get accepted to Harvard is to have a B highschool GPA? That ... doesn't sound right.
