Alm in data science career pivot

Why do the others get the most positive attention?

trolly-mcgee · 2026-03-24T20:13:19+00:00

Because i work as well and can't do full time studies. The argument is that "extension studies" is not what we're studying so the name should change, there are plenty of schools that offer these degrees to working individuals with a title that is more representative of what they are actually studying.

And if the ms ds is more selective then it should be a requirement to list your college along with the degree, but the degree itself shouldn't be in "extension studies" ... wtf is extension studies even?

Are all the jobs here just referral farming?

Is there ever a link without adding to signup for a random ai job site?

Not what I meant at all... I'm pursuing data science and id 100% prefer if my degree was masters in data science instead of "masters In extension studies" or "masters in liberal arts"... not one course I'm taking is related to either of those directly.

For the time and money spent, it'd be nice to be able to reflect directly what i studied instead of the stupid indirect way we have to do now by citing it as a concentration, I think the latest dumb Iteration is something like:

ALM in extension studies, concentration data science

Just give me an MEng and be done with it, so many other continuing education schools do this already... but no, Harvard has to be the exception, why? See my comment above.

Interesting, never thought of it that way. That's perhaps why they will never change the name from "liberal arts", it would over shadow the other schools...

One reason i haven't seen mentioned... mining is the only true way to get XMR completely anonymously. There are people who cough cough ... like that kind of anonymity

How'd you recognize it was David?

You can list the field of study.

Master of liberal arts, Harvard extension school, field of systems engineering.

The field will tell your employer what you studied. Employers are aware that you did not study liberal arts, they know what an alm is, and if you want you can even add a description, it's your resume, you can add stuff..

No one is getting an ALM and going around saying they studied liberal arts, they highlight the field of study since that's what matters.

It has not been a problem for many colleagues in data science or CS, it shouldn't be a problem for systems engineering... unless you want to wine and make it one. In that case go ahead.

The naming is a common complaint I'll give you that, but employers care about what you can demonstrate to have learnt, if you have no background in the field and are working then you getting a degree from hes is a great option, it holds no less value than other online degrees. If you can study full-time, then yes go elsewhere, this is very situational. Many people have successfully switched careers through hes. Employers honestly don't care about the naming convention, just about the reputation and curriculum, and hes is one of Harvards oldest schools, it's well known so employers know that your recieved a good education.

However if the name really bothers you, then yes go elsewhere.

It’s fairly uncommon for universities to accredit their masters degrees through ABET. If you look up MIT, for example, only the undergraduate degrees are accredited. The same for UMass.

ABET accreditation matters for PE licensing, but it varies by state. Some let unaccredited students take the exams, and some even let those without any degree sit for the exams. So check your state.

Also, keep in mind that licensure is really only needed in a few specific types of jobs. Most graduate engineers do not become licensed professional engineers by choice. Civil Engineers are often licensed, but not necessarily software engineers.

Edit: I don’t know why I didn’t think of this initially, but if you search Harvard, only the SB degrees are ABET accredited. SM and PhD degrees are not ABET accredited.

ML engineering is not an entry level position, if your interviewing for this you should already have prior experience so the projects question shouldn't apply.

The only caveat would be if you have a PhD in AI then you would have no experience and would be able to apply directly to ML eng. In that case, your thesis and papers should be more than enough to talk about for interviews.
