Isabel Masters in AI -- €3,245

I doubt that will be recognized as RA.

It may depend on where one takes it for evaluation. ECE has evaluated a similar master propio arrangement with Isabel as equivalent to RA, but they evaluated it as a bachelors degree. The reason, they say, is because the teaching school (ENEB) accepts 3-year bachelors degrees for admission, so ECE is essentially saying that they count the 1-year equivalent masters from ENEB as the 4th year of bachelors study in the United States. However, that reasoning is ridiculous and flawed. For one, whether work is or isn't masters level has nothing at all to do with a school's entry requirements, those are two completely separate things. Secondly, ECEs stance would invalidate the masters degrees held by most people living outside North America, as 3-year bachelors degrees are customary outside of North America and accepted for masters entry in all of those places, not to mention that they are accepted in many if not most places in the U.S. and Canada which further brings into question what ECE was doing with that evaluation.

I'm certain ECE is not taking that stance against all other schools, so I remain skeptical of the legitimacy of that particular decision and what it was really based on.

I suspect that ECE would recognize a self-issued propio as RA. Places like the Autonomous University of Barcelona, for example.
