Why does DegreeForum like ENEB

[nykorn]

ENEB isn't particularly perceived well. The materials and test questions are (sometimes very badly) translated to English from Spanish. The degrees aren't rated by FCEs as 100% equivalent to a US Master's, depending on who you go to. Some people think the curriculum is not demanding enough. Some people are violently opposed to being able to test out of classes, thinking it turns ENEB into a diploma mill. Although ECTS are supposed to transfer into all European countries, some Europeans found that the degree as a whole was rejected in their country. Some people are finding that the paper grading process is taking several months longer than it should. Some are worried because employers won't recognize the ENEB name and they want a "brand name" on their resume like Harvard which will instantly get them the job.

The main pros however are:

- Unlike most schools, ENEB accepts people of any Bachelor's subject for any of their Master's.

- Unlike most schools, ENEB is truly "do at your own pace", and for the same set tuition price. If it were humanly possible, you could do the whole degree in a day - or you could take 18 months, and still pay the same amount of money.

- ENEB offers the exam format without making it clear the degree was done by exam or the exact timeframe you took. So you could get your degree in 3 months but the transcript will still look like it took a full year or two. Some cultures do scrutinize the time taken for the degree, and reject applicants who graduated too fast.

- It's not only MBAs. ENEB offers a few degrees other schools don't, for example Hotels & Tourism. SOME of these subjects can get you a fast ticket to a new job - even one granting a visa and even without job experience.

- ENEB degrees seem to be accepted in a variety of countries including Japan (according to information on the official Japanese embassy page related to Japanese government scholarships, which I had to Google translate from Spanish) and Korea (a country which seems to accept anything with an apostille as valid).

- Some of us are just that poor. 3 degrees at ENEB, including an apostille, notarization, and shipping to me, cost only around $1,300 (with their sales) and can be done in less than a year. Even though I'm still paying back my $24,000 in student loans from my previous unemployable degrees, and despite formal employment am only making about $600 a month here in the USA, I can still afford ENEB. I can't however afford WGU or some of the other "cheap" schools, and even University of the People prices are pushing it (plus UoP limits most students to just 2 courses per term, making a 1 year degree turn into 2 or more years). If this turns out to be yet another unemployable piece of education under my belt, at least it wasn't a huge risk of money equal to over a year's salary.
