Almost Done
I just completed my second to last semester at Harvard Extension. If I continue on the path I’m currently on, I only need two more classes (one semester) to qualify for the ALB degree.
It’s been an interesting experience. One remaining matter is the decision to pursue a senior thesis reading and research project for my last semester. Doing so would probably make me a good candidate for graudate programs.
One thing I’d do differently would be to get my language requirement out of the way earlier. I had an opportunity to get that requirement taken care of much earlier and I deferred it till late in the program. Bad idea. If you go the HES way, take care of the language requirement early. It’s impossible to do it via distance and a pain to complete at HES because all of the classes meet twice per week.
Now I just need to get some more paperwork out of the way.

Why not just transfer in the course from another college? Congrats on the reading and research course!!
Congrats!
Just think how good it will feel to finally cross the finish line on this part of your journey!

Richard,
First, please accept my congratulations. No doubt you have expended much effort to reach this point. I wish you well in the months ahead; I look forward to reading about the completion of your studies and the experience of graduation.
For my part, I have decided (with near certitude) that I shall begin study at the Extension School this semester. I was wondering: Have you any advice?
Finally, I also wondered: Do you have a picture of the ALB? I am anxious to know its appearance. Strangely, no images of the degree have been posted to the Internet. (Images of the ALM, by contradistinction, abound.)
Thank you.
