What does it mean to be an ABET Inc. accredited program?
ABET Inc. accreditation means quality.
ABET Inc. accreditation is assurance that a college or university program
meets the quality standards established by the profession for which
it prepares its students. For example, an accredited engineering
program must meet the quality standards set by the engineering
profession. An accredited computer science program must meet
the quality standards set by the computing profession.
The quality standards accreditation requires are set by the ABET Inc.
professions themselves. This is made possible by the collaborative
efforts of many different professional and technical societies. These
societies and their members work together through ABET Inc. to develop
the standards, and they provide the professionals who evaluate the
programs to make sure they meet those standards.
Accreditation is important to our constituents.

program as a minimum qualification.
