CORe - Credential of Readiness - HBX
It's basically a survey-level course, though I would suppose it's pretty intensive...cost is $1,500, you are not considered a Harvard alum upon completion, but you are welcome to note it on your resume as follows:

They also have a format (which I couldn't copy/paste here) for including it as a credential on your LinkedIn profile. They say it's meant for recent college grads, current grad students, or undergrad juniors/seniors.
So...would it be worth it? What about in comparison to courses taken through the Harvard Extension School?
