Do you list it as:
"Bachelor's Degree Equivalent – Master in XYZ"
or simply as
"Master in XYZ"?
I’m considering purchasing access to ENEB's master's for my partner, who doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree. A traditional route to earning a bachelor’s would take too much time. Afterward, we plan to have the degree evaluated by ECE to obtain documentation of its equivalency to a bachelor’s degree.
TIA!
What is the motivation for getting it evaluated? If it's just for employment, most employers will not care about FCE or even know enough to ask for one. Lots of people study abroad and list foreign education on their resume without question. Also, is there a reason why you want ECE when other evaluators in the US will see it as a Masters?
I'm not sure if my tone is coming across properly here but I don't mean any type of rudeness, just asking because you might be planning to spend money unnecessarily.
I list mine as Master in XYZ and MBA from Isabel, because that's what the diplomas will say.
You are fine. I understand your concern. I don’t want to spend an extra $200+ if I don’t have to either.
It will mainly be for employment purposes. The reason I was considering an FCE is that it might seem odd to have a master’s degree without holding a bachelor’s. I work in higher education, so I’m aware that some colleges abroad accept students without a bachelor’s degree into master’s programs if they have sufficient professional experience. However, I’m concerned that HR at generic companies might not understand that.
That said, if you haven’t encountered any issues with it, I’ll probably skip the FCE.
