ENEB Master Thread

[Stranger1]

@eLearner: in this contex I'm talking about accreditation for MBA studies: EQUIS/EPAS, AMBA i AACSB. It is really not very important where you study for MBA so far they have at least one of this accreditations.

Just incase it helps anyone else out in the future. I have been told that I am able to enroll in these postgrad programs despite not having a bachelors on account of professional experience/career history. I haven't formally submitted an application yet, so not sure if/what hoops ill need to jump through, whether they will validate it or not and ill keep this thread updated on how I go, but it seems its potentially an option for people...

ENEB has been known to make that offer previously. IIRC, you submit a CV that shows your work history and all's good. Most students don't take that option because having a Master's/MBA on your CV without a Bachelor's degree can be seen as "suspicious" by employers.

But ENEB's exception does make it possible to take the MBA and one or more degrees from them, then back-transfer those credits to a U.S. university for a faster/cheaper Bachelor's degree.

I think it depends on your personal circumstances. If you are already working at a company and you want a promotion no one will care about a Bachelor's degree but a MBA degree will be more helpful than not having a degree at all. Master's from ENEB are more like Executive MBA's not real MBA's.

Interesting! I think here its a bit dependent on the field. In areas where the culture is somewhat train and promote from within it seems to be more accepted to go straight to Postgrad. Most unis around me have professional experience as a way of getting into postgrad, although often going that track you enroll in the graduate certificate (1/3 of the masters) and once that is done you articulate into the masters.

Obviously, that happens less in fields where there is core knowledge you need uni quals for, but things like business (retail and hospo being the obvious examples) and careers that start in admin and work into management (medical practice mgt etc) its not terribly uncommon to go straight to postgrad.

In my case I dont need a specific piece of paper, Im largely doing this to prove to myself I can - for the cost of getting some old undergrad credits looked at and validated to the US system I can do this, so I figure why not...

Horse chips. These are real MBAs that yield real academic credits, and are fully accepted as graduate degrees in the private sector in Spain. This has been confirmed and re-confirmed many times in this thread. We deal in facts, not opinion.

Executive MBAs are real.   The difference is usually the admission requirements and the schedule or delivery method.  It’s usually the same curriculum and at the end of the program, you have a Master’s in Business Administration.

There are even Executive DBAs in France.

But I don´t know which are their standing.

Landed in Germany today for an extended stay, and even with a bit of jetlag, Horse Chips cracked me up.

I remember in the late 80's there used to be a snack at a corner convenience store called Buffalo Chips. They were round, brown, and I believe they were made of real buffalo. They tasted great, but coming to learn more about "chips" years later, I was retroactively disgusted, lol. I haven't seen those since 1991 or 92.

A lot of foods from the 80s disappeared, and maybe for good reason. They tried a lot of wacky stuff back then, like a frozen milkshake you had to microwave and steaks you put in a toaster. Not a toaster over, an actual pop-up style toaster. Given the grade of meat they gave you, I questioned the "steak" part.
