ENEB New Master Thread

[nykorn]

They're nothing at all like nationally accredited degrees. There are no nationally accredited degrees you can get by writing 10-13 essays. Nothing wrong with a project-based Master's, but you'll have to do way more work to get a Master's in the United States no matter which accredited school you go with.

Thank you! I wanted someone to call me on this one.

I agree that most colleges are going to have more work. But to be honest, WGU is really, really easy. There's only 1 - 3 assignments or tests per class. If you have background knowledge on the subject you can skip over 90% of the reading. A ton of the info repeats itself across all the courses, it's not that every course has new info. They don't care if you tweak and reuse assignments. And some WGU Master's degrees are only like 10 classes. It's even more lenient than ENEB because you can redo assignments & tests essentially indefinitely (you just have to pay for each attempt if you fail more than 3 times). That's why people have passed entire WGU degrees in 2 weeks in some fields.

I have a relative who did a business degree at a brick and mortar school in Washington state and they were able to test out of the majority of classes. I've noticed an increasing number of colleges doing this over the past couple years, when previously it was unheard of.

ENEB is not much work in an objective sense, but it's more pages of reading than I have been doing for WGU and it's actually harder than WGU because the Spanish to English translation is poor (sometimes completely wrong) and I have to do a lot of outside research to figure out what the English is trying to say. I also feel like some stuff ENEB tests on or has you do assignments on isn't even covered in the material, again requiring outside research. If those issues were fixed, it would be easy in all senses of the word.

My degree from a Nordic country was much harder, higher level education with much more studying than anything I've had to do from any American college I've studied at (and I've studied at 4 American ones), but you don't see the Nordics claiming an American degree isn't worth anything. It's all relative I guess.
