Last year this time, I was seriously considering Nexford after looking at Heriot-Watt, SBS Swiss Business School, then ENEB.
I decided not to pursue Nexford then, and instead have completed a whole list of programs since.
This now looks to be a great way to transfer in ENEB credits and work towards a DEAC + IACBE MBA.
For some time last year, Nexford was not able to enroll students from a bunch of US States, the list of "restricted states" was quite long, and the restricted list was announced all of a sudden.
Had I enrolled last year, I would have had to withdraw at one point as they were not allowed to enroll students from my state, nor any of the surrounding states, nor any of those surrounding states, it seemed (exaggerating here, but it was pretty bad).
I asked them then if they were going to be in the process of being part of NC-SARA, and the enrollment person wasn't sure then.
We can see now that they are provisionally approved with NC-SARA, so I think they can enroll US students from many states, if not all.
Considering that the ENEB transfer credits to UNISEB or ENEB to Unimarconi 1 Livellos are not advertised any longer (IEAD does in Spanish, but no mention of transfer credits for prior courses) - I think Nexford is a very viable option compared to $1700-2100 for UNISEB (Direct Propio with Jointly branded UI1/UNISEB Transcript) or $2650+ for ENEB to Unimarconi (1 Livello).
DEAC is recognized by the US Department of Education and CHEA. IACBE is also CHEA-recognized. Propios, on the other hand, even if directly issued or an Italian 1 Livello are dependent on evaluators, whereas a Nextford MBA with accreditation from DEAC + IACBE already says a lot.
I would love a Nexford MBA, but if I were to do that, I would then have a UNISEB MBA + Unimarconi 1 Livello Master + UK MBA (not to mention the 2 ENEB programs I did earlier). At some point, one has to say enough is enough and move on

@tordan, I can totally understand having done the Nextford MBA with 50% ENEB transfer credits, as well as doing the UMass Global MBA.
Nexford is fully legitimate and would give a nice completion/closure to the ENEB experience.
I think for those who want that completion chapter/feeling of closure, and those who chose not to do the ENEB transfer to UNISEB and/or ENEB to Unimarconi, Nextford seems to be a great choice to definitively "upgrade" the credential.
