How long did it take you? Please report back as to how WES evaluates the degree. I'm too new to this entire thing to be able to make a suggestion about what kind of equivalency you should request. I hope someone else replies who has more experience.
I am about done with the Masters in Business and Professional Communication. I have just one more assignment to complete. I am intending to send the transcripts over to WES upon completion to figure out the U.S equivalent. However, I'm not sure as to what evaluation is the best for this. I am assuming the course by course evaluation is best in this instance. I would appreciate any insight that any one may have regarding the process!
I initially only paid for a master's degree, but I changed my mind and paid the difference and upgraded to the dual MBA plus master's degree, because two masters degrees for $300 can't be beat. I haven't decided what I'm going to do the master's in. I'm trying to find information regarding the demand for international trade professionals and big data and business intelligence professionals. I know big data is in high demand, but I need to see if the courses in the ENEB program are inline with big data courses here in the US. I have no doubt about the degree in international trade because I think that's always going to be in demand due to necessity.
It has taken me right around four months, but due to Covid-19 I have devoted basically every waking moment to the program for at least the past two months. Staying busy has really helped my anxiety during these times, so this program has been super beneficial for me! I will definitely be sure to report back regarding the WES evaluation. I was actually thinking of doing another one of the programs if the evaluation comes back as the equivalent to a US Master degree.

I am very excited and nervous, as well! I have my fingers crossed that this turns out to be a hidden gem of a deal that is deemed to be a suitable equivalent to A US Masters degree.
You went through your program so fast! Did you already work in the field of your degree and are just using the degree to check a box? What were the papers like at the end of each course/section?
Well, I only have a little work experience in general since I am only 19. I am currently working for a marketing agency and I find that the Communication degree is very beneficial for that line of work. That's not to say that it is a requirement, but rather I feel like it will strengthen my skill set.
I'm not sure that I would consider it a check in the box degree, I honestly only did it because it sounded fun and it was super affordable. I will say that I do feel as though I have learned a ton and it has already helped me out in the workplace. I have really enjoyed the program!
The papers at the end of each course consisted of a ton of writing. I believe that the maximum page count barring the bibliography and cover page that you can submit is 18 pages. I personally found that all of the assignments that I submitted were around the 15 to 16 page mark. Also, quick side note: The assignments are graded on a scale of 1 to 10, so don't be freaked out if your paper gets returned within that range. I wasn't aware of that and my first paper got returned to me with a score of 8 and I was sincerely wondering how I could have done that bad, haha. I will say that it is much easier if you follow the rubric to the tee!
