What Is ABET Accreditation?
ABET 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.
ABET accredits postsecondary degree-granting programs housed within regionally accredited institutions. ABET accredits programs only, not degrees, departments, colleges, or institutions.
