Has anyone tried to transfer any of these credits/degrees to a school in the US? I'm just curious if anyone has reached out to a school to see if they would accept these credits.
In theory, if they were evaluated as a masters certificate, one would only have to complete a few classes to complete a degree in the US, right?
No, because most American master's programs accept very little or no transfer credit. We're talking 3-9 credits on average. There are some exceptions, but a very small number.
Since most American schools accept foreign degree evaluations (first and foremost from NACES evaluators), as long as the degree evaluates to a level the school accepts, there should be little trouble. In general, schools are looking for it to be evaluated as equivalent to a regionally accredited master's level (graduate) certificate, graduate diploma, or master's degree. Some schools will accept unaccredited master's degrees, but by some I mean few.
I know that Apollos accepts the ENEB master's without a foreign degree evaluation, at least that's the word I got from them a while back when I asked about it out of curiosity. Most people have used them simply in the way they're used in Spain: as a master's level credential to use in order to land a higher-level job than the one they had with no further educational aspirations. Since the majority aren't looking to go into another master's program or into a doctoral program, there hasn't been much info on that kind of movement yet, but knowing the American system it will be easier to get more traction with the degree by entering another foreign program, particularly in the Spanish-speaking world.
