ENEB New Master Thread

[lincolnlawyer]

IEE did a double penalty for CLEA.   It is a Mexican propio validating a continuing education program's Spanish propio.  They didn't give it a Masters equivalent because it is a Master Titulo Propio that lists the 1600 hour equivalent (64 ECTS / 1 Year) from Spain.   Then, since CLEA is from Mexico and the stated program was not listed in RUCT, it does not have RVOE which means it is an unaccredited program.  

This evaluation shows that IEE evaluates Mexican propios and Spanish propios slighty different. Mexican propios are unaccredited programs from accredited institutions while Spanish propios are graduate certificates. All things considered, this is still a pretty good evaluation for continuing education with graduate hours that can count somewhere.

I've been wondering about this for quite a long time. Some evaluation agencies seem to suggest that a graduate certificate in the US is issued as a continuing education program, and hence is not subject to accreditation. Is that accurate?

I had some credits that spilled over from my master's and I ended up getting a graduate certificate for them. I've been told by the awarding university (a state university) and a few institutions in the US and UK that the credits on my graduate certificate can count as formal credits for credit transfer. Doesn't that mean the intensity of the coursework is identical to a degree program? If so, wouldn't the categorization of "continuing education" diminish the validity of those credits?
