ENEB had a good and legitimate program going, got greedy, and blew it, smh.

Did you evaluate with IEE as a Grad Cert and transfer the credits to the Walden MBA, BJ? How many credits do they take? Or did you do the FCE thing....?

No, I didn't bother with any extra costs for evaluations or transfers.  I didn't get the Apostille, Agile option for exams, physical diplomas, or anything from them.  I like to take the classes just for reference and for retaining info, even if it is a bit repetitive as it all deals with business and not really the subject matter that I was hoping for.   Walden takes up to 50% if you have grad credits for transfer, I didn't transfer anything to them.

What's the best easy to leverage this into a DHA program? It's this still possible?

Are there any guinea pigs...?

I'm going the Global MBA route through ENEB and kinda feel screwed at this point. It's basically a paperweight.

I mean it's accredited and grants ECTS so I'm confused why Validential changed their reasoning.

bjcheung77 what do you recommend?

Evaluate it with IEE; if everything goes right, you'll get 45 US graduate credits. Transfer those evaluated graduate credits to the Walden MBA (Accepts 50% transfer, should be quite lenient from what I've heard), if you really want to fully utilize your ENEB; otherwise, go with UMPI MAOL. With tempo learning and credits transfer (Walden's CBE), you'll be finishing in 3 months.

Idk if graduate credits can be reused, even if so, you should be able to have enough credits for "an externship of up to 24 credits"  and an extra master's. Still lacking graduate credits? Buy one more ENEB and evaluate it with IEE. No bachelors? No problem, just buy an ENEB+UI1 and evaluate it as a bachelor's with ECE. Use the agile methodology (answering 50 MCs) for faster graduation.

Guinna pig idea: Do SOBAT and evaluate it with Validential, they've got 2 Master programs there...I'm pretty sure a bachelor's at SOBAT will get evaluated as a US equivalent.

Disclaimer: The above MIGHT work, but definitely not guaranteed.

I think you could just get away with "an externship of up to 24 credits" with graduate credits evaluated by IEE... 24 credits doesn't make up a full master's, and IEE will be just fine... It's worth a try...

Can you elaborate further in this? I am not following....the Walden part below....
