ENEB Master Thread

[eLearner]

When reflecting on the previous evaluations through other NACES companies, the problem was them not evaluating both ENEB and Universidad Isabel I as a joint entity.  Evaluating Isabel I by itself led to accreditation without full academic (Masters degree) recognition.   Evaluating ENEB by itself led to a Masters degree without accreditation.    Combining them leads to full recognition, Masters from a regionally accredited school equivalency. 

It may not only be  bias but possible ignorance on evaluators' part because they don't want to evaluate validation credentials or give full recognition for Propios degrees.

Yeah, some evaluators have taken a stance that they won't evaluate any propio for anything more than credit. I've never agreed with that thinking because the main point of an evaluation in this context is to determine whether or not a program is equivalent to a U.S. RA program or a U.S. unaccredited program. Taking blanket positions on foreign programs is questionable at best. It contradicts the whole concept evaluators chant of not evaluating something before an actual evaluation is done.

The thing is, evaluations are supposed to be based primarily on the program one studied. Evaluators can and have at times deemed unaccredited school program from other countries as equivalent to RA because they evaluated the program taken and took that into chief consideration above all. This is why ECE deemed this program equivalent to a U.S. regionally accredited program. They judged the program on its own. I think that's an important point some of the detractors need to consider. What a program is in one country doesn't necessarily mean it will be deemed that way in another and that can either mean something good or something bad. Heck, the ECE evaluation taught us that: It's a Master's in Spain (good), but by ECE's decision it's an RA Bachelor's in the United States (not bad but not as good). On the other hand, Validential says it's an RA Master's in the United States (good), but WES says it's a U.S. non-accredited Master's (not so good).

In the end, each evaluator will have its own perspective. Luckily, there are plenty to choose from.
