ENEB Master Thread

[PrettyFlyforaChiGuy]

My thoughts: I value college access in all its novel forms, but I want to douse some passions here.

Pursuing a Groupon degree program for a school that was forced to remove "university" from its name is scraping the bottom of a barrel that's already mid-roll in a downhill race to the bottom.

It really pushes credulity for me, reading the lawsuits and negative news stories that reach back decades, and seems to prey upon a particular mindset of picking up the cheapest piece of paper one can find. The discussion of accreditation seems to be all over the place, since while we have reports that it is "recognized" in Germany, a post on one of the discussion forums listed on the first page of this thread reported this:

"I contacted the Swiss government and they told me that EU Business School is not a state recognized university in Switzerland. They literally told me that the paper of the degree has more value than the academic degree itself.
I then contacted the Spanish government, not easy - nobody feels responsible, but in the end I was lucky and they told me the same as the Swiss. In fact they told me that EU is not allowed to offer any university programs in Spain.
In Germany it was easy - I called the Ministry in Munich, they speak English, and Mrs. Harich told me that EU is not recognized and that they are only allowed to offer the courses they are doing together with two British universities - Roehampton and Derby.
If you want to check my infos, here are the links to the institutions I contacted:
Switzerland - https://www.swissuniversities.ch/en/
Spain - http://www.mecd.gob.es/portada-mecd/en/
Germany - Welcome to the website of the Bavarian State Ministry of Education, Science and the Arts"

Interestingly, those two British unis, Roehampton and Derby, are no longer listed on ENEB's accreditation page (https://eneb.com/accreditations/). I wonder if the whole Groupon deal is simply due to ENEB soon losing its affiliation with yet another institution, the Isabel I online college.

I agree with Sanantone a few posts back in saying that your outcome is going to be iffy no matter what. I admit that there's no harm if the program is structured well enough (honestly, couldn't find too many insights on this particular aspect aside from demands for refunds and some reports of lawsuits), but for a degree itself, eh, I'd advise more caution.

But hey, the Groupon doesn't say you can't get their free tablet deal too: https://www.eneb.com/free-tablet/
