Is Multiversidad legit?

[bjcheung77]

Thanks for letting us know and updating this thread with information everyone...

The main thing people want to know is that, they have the proper accreditation at various levels in Mexico. I would venture to say that Mexico State vs Federal accreditation is the the mirror of NA vs RA here, it's accreditation that is properly recognized, and at some levels (employment, education, immigration, etc), the differences are minimal.

Here's a quick yet simple example, USDOE recently have broken down the doors and have recognized NA/RA as equal, it's just that some academics and institutions still favor RA over NA. At the undergrad level I would still recommend RA, when you get to the graduate level, it then becomes 50/50, depending on your cost, ease, speed to finish the program.

I have several degrees from Mexico universities, they have a federal RVOE and recognized as regional in the US.

That's typical! No disagreement about that!

I have also nearly finish a licenciatura in UVEG (regional rvoe) and the degree info for recognition of the credits I have is regional and the credits where recognized without a problem.

I do not doubt that your credits were recognized as applicable transfer credits, but that is not the same as getting a degree equivalent evaluation.

When you finish your licenciatura at UVEG, it would be great if you can post your foreign credential evaluation from a NACES / AICE evaluator here on this forum.

Until then, viewers of this forum are left to make decisions based on assumptions and possibilities since there is no posted evidence.

There are are comments online that an option for UVEG grads that are super concerned about the state vs federal recognition is that once they graduate, have the state diploma and cédula profesional, they can visit the sep offices of the state (in UVEG's case Guanajuato, and Multiversidad Sonora) for a document called 'trámite de legalización'. Getting the cédula should be done first because it shows proof the degree is valid nationwide and would increase the chances for a more favorable evaluation.

Uveg graduates tend to have far more problems getting their bachelor Uveg degrees recognized for a work visa in the USA because the degree can be obtained in a little over 3 years instead of the official 4 and it seems like there isn't much discussion about issues with the state vs national recognition.

It definitely could help!

I agree, but it is not limited to UVEG. It applies to many Mexican universities with state RVOE.

I live in Mexico. Now, that does not make me an expert, but I am a bit more informed than the average person due to my professional network here.

Not all degrees are treated equally just because they have an RVOE — state or federal. NACES / AICE evaluators assess the full context of the degree and institution, including the quality of the academic program and the relevant educational standards. Federal RVOE degrees might be more straightforward to evaluate, while state RVOE degrees might require additional scrutiny.

Thank you for all your answers. So Multiversidad Mundo Real Edgar Morin is legit, but the problem is the credential evaluation with California University FCE. I read a little about another company called California University FCE Ideal Center, but it was from Philippines and not from United States. This another institution had several news about the fake titles. Is this the origin of the bad reputation of CUFCE? If so, it's a little unfair.
I know there are several credential evaluation sites, but I understand that if the university works with this in particular, it should be cheaper for students.

Don't use CUFCE, it's not recognized, reputable, nor recommended as not many institutions will accept their evaluations. They don't do anything except charge for their services and stamp of approval. I've never seen any negative evaluations or rejections from their applications yet, they take everything and process them as equal to US accreditation.

In other words, skip them as there are no processes of proper review of credentials, they won't be effectively used for anything, not even education, employment, nor immigration. They're at the bottom of the list of options for FCE, Validential would be just a step up... Stick with the few AICE members or recommended NACES members for FCEs...

It’s only valid on Earth 616.

The credits are evaluated by WES. The UVEG credits appear as accredited institution which is the same as the others I have finished from other countries. Also appear the time in semesters. I hope it helps. Also in Anabin (germany accreditation) UVEG appear as H+ (which several RA USA universities does not). 

It is true that many universities in Mexico have more market value, for example UNAM. Wich has no RVOE itself. It is not different than USA where Ivy League Universities have a name that is more appreciated than state universities usually which at same time are usually more appreciate than for profit Universities. I was not referring to that. Only to the fact that in base to the law all are valid and should have the same value in the frame of the law as recognized education. The mexican law recognizes the federal and the state rvoes as valid. Usually that is the point that is evaluated, what a study is valid in its own country.
