Accreditation: Uni of Isabel 1 is an approved tertiary institute in Spain. So what is the issue here?
Transferability: An MBA is a stand-alone degree. Not sure why credits transferability is critical here?
Becos after the MBA, still want to get another degree with maximum credit transfer? For pursuing a PhD?
You make a good point. I think unless one is interested in a PhD or another Masters program where you might attempt to transfer some credit, or teaching, most of the worries discussed won't really matter and will instead come down to how an employer may view a foreign degree. I think people are looking for that extra confirmation from an equivalency evaluation, I'm interested in it myself. I'll just point out that even degrees that are fully acceptable in their own country don't always translate to being acceptable in another according to an evaluation, and that each NACES evaluator can turn out a different evaluation result. WES could say it's not equivalent to an RA Masters, ECE could say it is equivalent to an RA Masters, another evaluator could say it's equivalent to an RA graduate diploma. We'll see in time.

What is the problem with this on the CV ?:
Master in Business Administration
University of Isabel 1, Spain
I would just say that WGU might be kind of well-known given its enormous student base over the years, and all of its advertising in the last three. But compared to the schools with big time sports programs everyone knows, and the Ivy's, I'd agree that they aren't so well-known.
