    I'm kind of puzzled with the titles from HES.

    Does anyone else have problem with their crazy titles?

    Ok, I can live with the fact that every degree is a Master of Liberal Arts, even the one in Information Technology.

    But it's freaking weird that their degree in Digital Arts and Media (the one I'm interested) is a concentration in the Information Technology degree - while in every other college that I know, Digital Arts would be either communications or art/design.

    I'm kind of relutant in enrolling in the program - because I emailed the advisor and she said that I should list the degree like this:

    Master of Liberal Arts, Information Technology, Harvard University
    Extension School
    With a concentration in Digital Media Arts and Sciences.

    In this business (media, Digital Arts) the portfolio is much more important than the resume (I've being working with Digital Arts for the last five years) but even so, it seems strange to write this...

    It sounds that I'm more of a computer tech guy than a Digital Artist.
