    ISEAD appears to be based in Spain. Their Spanish operations seem to be affiliated with the Centro Universitario Villanueva, which is part of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, which is a legit Spanish school.

    Their US operations, which are based in Miami, don't appear to have any US accreditation. However, they claim to be licensed by the State of Florida.

    From a US perspective, a degree from ISEAD in Miami would appear to be state-licensed but unaccredited. ISEAD degrees might be regarded differently in Spain, since ISEAD seems to have connections to legit Spanish universities.

    Two points of possible interest:

    - The name "ISEAD" looks a lot like "INSEAD", which is a very well-known and prestigious business school in France.

    - The home page for ISEAD in Spain prominently features the AACSB logo, with the words "Institutional Member of" to the left. This is in fact true , because ISEAD in Spain is an AACSB "member" -- but AACSB "membership" is not the same as AACSB "accreditation".

    ISEAD is operating with a provisional state license in Miami, FL. The university have association with a college that is part of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid which is the top university in Spain and one of the top in Europe, but is not part of the Complutense.

    They are not AACSB accredited and should not be confused with INSEAD (France) or ESADE (Spain) which are very prestigious business schools and AACSB accredited. You will not probably get a lot of recognition with a degree from ISADE specially at most B&M schools that now prefer AACSB accredited schools graduates.

    Instituto de Empresa (IE) a Top 3 business school in the World by financial times and other rankings, offer an online DBA. This is a school (AACSB and EQUIS accredited) which D.B.A. degree will be recognized by any university in the US, Canada, Latin America, Asia or Europe.
