ENEB Master Thread

[cacoleman1983]

Universidad Isabel I certification doesn't make ENEB accredited.  ENEB alone is a non-accredited university.  What makes them be viewed as accredited is based on the foreign credential evaluations when the Universidad Isabel I credential is evaluated, not ENEB.  Getting an evaluation could return a negative result depending on your goals. If you are not trying to top up the degree or use it for transfer credit, no evaluation is needed. However, if you are using it for academic purposes, evaluating it as belonging to Universidad Isabel I could be beneficial.

Also, for immigration purposes, the foreign credential evaluation does determine rather or not someone can come here from overseas to obtain jobs, however this is a non-issue for the vast majority of us.  Getting a foreign credential evaluation is not necessary for most of those pursuing it for professional and personal development instead of academic.  The fact that we have LinkedIn and other networks that show ENEB graduates will allow most employers to let the degree stand on its on merits without an evaluator despite accreditation status.

The problem is not so much exaggerating the value of ENEB, but determining its status from one country to another.   That's what most of us are having a hard time agreeing on because US and Canada do not use one school to certify or validate another school.   However, for all intents and purposes as a non-accredited program and institution, depending on how you define accreditation, ENEB is still a legitimate school and not a diploma mill.
