Secondly, why would WES be some kind of an arbiter in this dispute? Their evaluation is irrelevant to the status of this degree in Spain. There are thousands of credential evaluation agencies in the U.S. WES is just a single agency under the umbrella of the much larger NACES membership association. AICE is another professional membership association with full recognition by the U.S. Dept. of Education. Again, why the constant focus on WES?

Many North American employers specifically require an evaluation from WES in order to hire someone with a tertiary credential from a foreign country - this is especially true in the education industry, where a degree may be required in order to teach.
WES is not the only out for, but it's certainly seen - rightly or wrongly - as the 'main' one. I couldn't hire anyone for a teaching position at a college in a North American country (trying to be vague here!) unless they had a degree from <short list of Western Anglo countries>, or had a WES evaluation for their foreign degree. It just saved the time if trying to discern between real degrees, and rando 'pay us for our bit of paper' degrees.

I don't know about the US but it does seem to be a valid degree in Europe. As long as one doesn't want to get a PhD (which I do not), it appears to be perfectly valid for getting a job. I realize that a lot of forum members are American citizens who are still in the US but there are plenty of international forum members as well for whom this degree might work, even if it turns out that it's not recognized by WES for whatever reason.

I guess it might depend on which European country, but I am quite confident that you'd have a hard time in Eastern Europe. A lot of weight is put on 'known' universities. I'm not willing to guinea pig myself, but I strongly suspect I'd be lol'd out of any workplace in my country if I attempted to represent myself as having an MBA from this . . . 'school'.
