I just read the linked post and it seems like an interesting program. I couldn't help but notice though where he said it's an MA rather than an MS. Does anyone know how well regarded the program is? In other words, if a potential employer saw a Harvard Extension School ALM in IT master of arts degree on a resume instead of a master of science in CS from the Harvard engineering school (or anything else comparable), how well would it hold up?

Harvard only gives out B.A. degrees (more precisely, A.B. -- Artium Baccalaureatus spelled in Latin) in the sciences. I would assume the same for their masters program, but it is effectively equivalent to an MS.
