Universidad de Nicaragua has partnerships with several universities.  Four of them that I know of are Intercultural Open University, University of America,  Swiss Management Center, and Universidad Azteca.   These schools by themselves are not government accredited but UCN validates them and awards an accredited degree.  People could then take the UCN degree and get it evaluated as an equivalent USA regional accredited degree.

As far as ENEB goes,  I am very curious about their school and may just do it for the fun of it.  I am investigating to see what will happen if I were to transfer these credit hours to UCN.  I may be able to get a Doctor of Business Administration with a shorter dissertation in one year if I enrolled in the Double Masters at ENEB / Universidad I, complete those programs, and then transfer those two years worth of credits in.

I'm a reader, just registered on the website to ask this one question:

Since you'll getting both a diploma by Isabel I and ENEB, what would you guys put on your resume? I guess the smart move is to put the Isabel I one but wouldn't that be liying as you didn't attend any Isabel I courses but the ENEB ones?

Add: on the part of the resumé I would insert this diploma in, I liked the idea one of you wrote to put it on additional formation/certifications rather than in "actual" degrees. But wouldn't that be asking for questions (e.g on a face-to-face interview) as it is not normal to see a masters degree on the additional formation part on a CV? Isn't it smarter to put it on the actual degrees and if something comes up (of the recruiter really diggs into it) you explain whatever he/she asks?

Thank you once again to all of you .

I can assure you, I have absolutely no connection to the school other than the 200 some-odd dollars that I risked to check out their claims. Their ad caught my curiosity, and I had to do research to reach my own conclusions. The degree is a título propio which is recognized as a Masters level professional degree by the Spanish ministry of education (not an academic degree which would allow you to proceed to a doctorate). But this particular type of degree only carries about as much prestige as the school that grants it. So no, it would not be dishonest to list it as a master's degree on a resume, but it doesn't carry much prestige. Their marketing department is pure trash for sure. And I would advise someone who takes this course to take their marketing class elsewhere. A search of the school on LinkedIn provides many results of people who list this master's degree on their profile. Many of which have very good positions already listed. Most of these people already had the same position before they obtained the Masters. if I had to guess, I would say the majority of people who actually fully complete this program do so for their own personal development.  I stand by the statement that the content of the manuals is similar to the content one would expect in any other MBA program, and that the final projects require a good working knowledge of that content. My opinion is that most people would need to find additional resources to further clarify some of the concepts in order to do well on the final projects, unless you are very good at grasping everything you read without further explanation. That should be expected though of any rigorous program. If anyone is curious, I'm happy to share portions of the program and final projects. (Materials in Spanish, as I didn't want to read through a bunch of translated text which always comes out funny)
