ENEB Master Thread

[eLearner]

The thing I think is important to keep in mind is that propios aren't new and evaluators have plenty of experience with them. Evaluators like ACEI and SpanTran have long ago taken an SOP-like position on them to only evaluate them for credit at the graduate or undergraduate level. Evaluators like WES and ECE will vary in their approach: depending on the arrangement and program it can be evaluated as equivalent to a U.S. regionally accredited degree or a U.S. non-accredited degree, I think many here already knew that, but the bulk of the discussion here about it comes from us all still learning about how ENEB specifically would be handled.

So far, there are no known outright rejections of ENEB degrees by evaluators (and someone is going to pop up with one right after I post this, lol), so as it stands, and unless ENEB does something to really screw up, everything should be okay. In a way, it's much like a school receiving accreditation and then needing to do the right things to hang onto it, and having said that I have to say that MCA-like deals could get them into hot water at some point much like UCN and others have made deals that got them blacklisted. The evaluators are watching. As I've said in previous posts, in a number of countries what MCA is giving would be acceptable and I think both MCA and ENEB misunderstand that the U.S. education system is different, more strict, and very just-so when compared to many others.

ENEB is not a scam. MCA arguably could be. It's definitely on the shady side. If ENEB doesn't fill the purposes that you want, that's fine. But it doesn't make them a scam. There are worse ways to spend $300. I'd personally rather have a titulo propio than 1 or 2 certificates of dubious quality from Coursera/edX.

While I like Coursera/EdX, the problem is that much of what they offer doesn't count for credit anywhere. Then if you do take a credit-bearing degree program through them it's still going to cost quite a bit, considerably less than going directly through the degree-awarding school, but still.
