No. We knew last year.

What a fascinating mess they're getting themselves into with that. ENEB has been as legitimate as they need be with the UII affiliation and validation, but now setting up (seemingly) a state (Florida) approved, but wholly unaccredited enterprise granting ECTS via distance study in the US seems totally fly-by-night and illegitimate. Too bad.
They appear to be a Spain-based program that has achieved state approval in Florida. May be premature to indict them. Every school has to start unaccredited so only over time will we know what this operation is all about. State approval is the first step and a good one. At the moment, they can only offer unaccredited degrees in the U.S., but the upside is that contrary to the ECE evaluation that deemed the ENEB degree as a regionally accredited bachelor's degree (meaning that any school receiving a transfer student and requiring a foreign degree evaluation would likely only accept it as a bachelor's degree and not grant access to a Doctoral program), a state approved school offering a master's in the United States will have their degrees recognized as a master's by any accredited college that accepts unaccredited degrees and there are some out there, more than the schools that do would ever be willing to admit and that number has risen since COVID.
The other advantage is that foreign degree evaluators wouldn't be able to reduce the degree to just credits or graduate diplomas as some are being said to do, since they won't be able to evaluate the Americanized versions. So given the prices ENEB operates with, the biggest advantage would be to use that inexpensive American-based unaccredited degree to enter a Doctoral program, sidestepping the foreign degree evaluation barrier that some evaluators are putting up. The evaluators have reviewed ENEB's programs and they know fully well that they pass the American master's level test, but the prices ENEB charges will always make them keep piling on new criteria because they don't want to open the floodgates to these low-cost programs becoming competitive with programs based in America that cost a mortgage. American schools would incinerate the NACES system if they allowed it.
