ENEB New Master Thread

[SteveFoerster]

No, FCEs don't adjust their evaluations to their own detriment to benefit US institutions that they're not affiliated with, but that doesn't change the fact that some US universities' businesses would be negatively affected if $500 fast and easy ENEB degrees carried the same weight as their degrees via foreign credential evaluation.

I don't disagree with either of these; I just don't think they have anything to do with each other.

I think FCEs know exactly what they are doing. They know that ENEB programs, especially with the new agile methodology, don't require much effort.

If they knew what they were doing, they'd produce consistent results, and different FCEs would, by and large, agree. We've seen that's not the case for many years, going at least as far back as John Bear testing different FCEs on how they evaluated the Heriot-Watt MBA.

That said, I agree with you that ENEB made a big mistake introducing that single exam if their goals included being respected. But things like AI vulnerabilities and other poor curricular design are found across the board these days. It's a pervasive problem throughout higher education.
