I think a lot of people know about Harvard online but the perception has always been that it looks a bit wanky putting an online course from an Ivy League school on your resume as some petty way of trying to tell people you studied at Harvard when really you just did an online course.

Perception on this might actually change now but I’m curious to hear from leaders and recruiters what their perspective on this is online vs on campus

It's 2025. If you took an online course from Harvard and passed then you passed a course from Harvard.

I highly doubt a recruiter is going to care about seeing "Harvard" on a resume unless it says you completed an undergrad or postgrad degree there.

I wonder, like if it’s Harvard grade quality then isn’t it a good thing ?
