Virginia University of Lynchburg Accreditation on Warning

[michaeladsmith2]

If ECE said ENEB masters credits are "equivalent to a US RA Bachelor's degree" , then the bachelor credit will not count towards the 90 graduate credits. It needs to be master's or doctoral coursework! How did you pull that off? I have a high opinion of VUL as it is an established US accredited HBCU school in existence for over one hundred years. I hesitate with schools like ENEB in Spain that flip out master's degrees like pancakes.

I mentioned on this forum many times that the ENEB Masters can be used for any number of academic, workplace, and personal goals one may have. Universities, employers and country & state jurisdictions make up their own policies and rules on accepting or not accepting ENEB. VUL now has approximately 7-15 students that have gone to ENEB, received their singular or Dual Masters, and been accepted to their DHA program. My FCE (Foreign Credential Evaluation) was not only by ECE, but also Validential. Validentail evaluated ENEB as a US RA Masters degree. Not every FCE has to be from a NACES approved provider. And not every school rejects Validential. 

As I said before, every person has to choose for themselves how they will leverage their ENEB degrees. In one school (Regent U), I got into a Masters with my ENEB ECE Report. In another school (VUL), I got into a Doctoral program. And this forum has already addressed other schools across the US and abroad that accepts ENEB Masters into Doctoral Programs. 

I don't agree with the "ENEB Pancakes" analogy. I did the work. I read the PDFs, watched several of the supporting resources, and wrote 19 APA formatted Master's-level papers. And still enrolled in other ENEB masters degrees - doing the work!. While some my not agree with ENEB's LMS (Learning Management System), there are many schools that do the same thing. Login, read the material, follow the syllabus, and write a term paper or two, all while never really meeting the professor. Yes, there are discussion boards and maybe a ZOOM class, but ENEB is just as Asynchronous as other schools. 

And to achieve 7 As and 2Bs with a 3.82 GPA in my DHA, VUL is very impressed with ENEB graduates.

The problem is that you said that ECE evaluated the ENEB master's degree at the "bachelor level" on this forum. Hence, VUL should not have accepted you or those credits based on that statement alone regardless of my opinion about ENEB.  Sadly, VUL has some oversight issues in admissions, which can lead to accreditation issues if your ENEB credits are "bachelor's" level.

But remember that VUL, and I'm sure the Accreditor and USDOE all have no problem with the acceptance of Validential's FCE as "equivalent to a US RA Master's degree." You are mincing words. ECE is only one company. VUL and other schools can choose for themselves what criteria, documents, admissions and FCE they want. Many schools accept Validential. I understand your opinion, but disagree. That is just one of many Evaluations concerning ENEB.

Let me get this straight. According to your resume, you go from holding a Diploma to earning an ENEB foreign "master degree" that is originally evaluated as a Bachelors degree from a US NACES approved evaluator ECE to getting it accredited by Validential and evaluated as a master's degree (how convenient) so you may be admitted to VUL and graduate with a DHA?

With all due respect, this really doesn't smell right!

You have a right to your opinion. It's similar in California to persons who have a AA degree and get accepted to Law School by a CA-accredited Law School, and pass the bar. Their "resume" is an AA to a professional doctorate. Don't disparage others for the choices they make and the goals they achieve. My "resume" also has 30 years of leadership and nonprofit management experience as well.
