ENEB Master Thread

[openair]

I want to share something that might be very helpful to the people engaged in discussions on this thread. I was looking for some credential evaluator gudelines on the recognition of titulo propio degrees in the U.S. I believe that I have finally found something deeply relevant. It took me awhile to access this stuff.

So, here is a 2018 internal report from AICE (the Association of International Credential Evaluators Inc). They are on par with NACES, as both organizations enjoy full recognition of the U.S. Department of Education. https://aice-eval.org/

Here's the relevant quote:

Unrecognized Credentials Conferred by Recognized Institutions of Higher Education

Titulo Propio programs in Spain are taught outside of the formal academic framework, and the
credentials do not have standard formatting or a signature of the King of Spain. These programs were
designed to appeal to foreign students, frequently focusing on language instruction and teacher training
designed for international students to upgrade their teaching positions when they return to their home
country. However, Spaniards can also enroll in these programs, as evidenced by credentials encountered
recently by AICE endorsed members. Fortunately, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports of Spain
maintains a comprehensive list of official degrees offered at each university, available at
http://srv.aneca.es/ListadoTitulos/ . As such, programs not listed here are most likely for Titulos Propios.
Most AICE Endorsed Members selectively recognize these credentials for credits, if they are quantified in
any way, but never recognize them for degree equivalence.

That settles the debate for me. There's no way that you could get a degree equivalency from AICE. Basically, you can only try to get some transfer credits from one of their member evaluators. I would be very surpised if NACES members (WES in particular) had a more generous approach than AICE.
