I need some information and feedback on Master of Liberal Arts in Information Technology from Harvard University Extension School. Any insights on the overall experience, does the text Master of Liberal Arts in Extension studies with concentration in Information Technology viewed by HR and prospective employers? How does that compare with other continuing schools and programs around Boston like the Brandeis University MS in IT Management and the Boston University's M.S in Computer Information Systems. ALM in IT from Harvard Extension School vs MS in IT and M.S in CIS, the name Harvard is indeed something to recon with but not the text on the diploma. Any insights on this?

Boston-area employers don't view an HES degree as the same as a Harvard degree. If the only reason why you're looking at this program is because of the Harvard name, then look elsewhere. In addition, a master in liberal arts... I'm not loving that type of degree re: employment prospects. It's not the same as a masters in IT, a masters in CIS, etc. It's less focused. Employers in your field prefer the focus. BU has a very good rep in the IT field. Brandeis does as well. I also know that Northeastern and WPI (which has a campus on 128) both have respected masters IT-related degrees.
