Unlike other Ivy League schools, Harvard awards only liberal arts and certain professional degrees through its online graduate programs. A person who completes an online graduate degree from Harvard receives a Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies rather than an M.A.
Online graduate education is offered through the Columbia Video Network. Unlike Harvard, Columbia offers the same degree as if a person had completed the degree while physically attending the institution . Columbia has one of the most developed online engineering graduate school programs of any Ivy League school.
Cornell offers two online programs at the master's level--food service management and hospitality management. Cornell is a leader in Ivy League online education, and most of the university's online programs offer either a certificate or a bachelor's degree.
