They’re not exactly a “mother-daughter team,” but Rosemary Dowling, 79, of Dorchester, and her daughter, Rosemary McCarthy, 55, of Duxbury, graduated in tandem from the Harvard Extension School with their Bachelor of Liberal Arts (A.L.B.) degrees on June 7. Both Rosemarys worked on their degrees over the past 10 years, commuting together, and enrolling in most of the same courses. They are the first mother and daughter to graduate from the Harvard Extension School with the same degree in the same year.
