This is likely to be my last post on this thread, since it seems some here are mostly only interested in devaluing my opinions, but I do think my research may help some people in my situation, so I do want to share. Ultimately, I have decided not to complete my MBA through this school, and I want to give my reasons why. An MBA is unfortunately not like a bachelor's degree when it comes to utility. For most, your MBA will likely be your crown academic achievement, and for the amount of work that will go into completing this program, I don't want it to be thrown away simply because someone Google's the school and dismisses it. I have, after much research, decided to enroll into the newly established distance MBA program offered by John F Kennedy University, which is still competency based, and charges a flat $8500 per year, since I have no doubt that I can complete the program within that year. For me, a regionally accredited MBA from a non-profit school is worth that. That being said, I do think the ENEB program can have value. I emailed ENEB to ask if I can change the program from MBA to International Trade. Since they allow two years to complete the program, I can pick up on the master's in international trade at ENEB after I finish the MBA. I plan to do this because my undergraduate degree is in International Trade and Spanish, and nobody is going to hold a secondary foreign master's degree against you when you already have listed a regionally accredited MBA above it on your resume, I think it would simply show additional skillsets that would give you a leg up. I still stand by my original opinion that their offer is legitimate. It is not a scam, and I see no reason not to list it as a master's if you actually complete the full coursework.
