  Dual-Level Accreditation in Engineering

March 29, 2008 update: At its spring meeting today, the ABET Board of Directors approved a change to section II.B.8.a. of ABET’s Accreditation Policy and Procedure Manual that will allow institutions to seek accreditation for their engineering programs of the same name/discipline at multiple levels (i.e., bachelor's and master's) concurrently. The change will go into effect with the 2009-2010 accreditation cycle.


In 2006, ABET put out a call for comments on dual-level accreditation of engineering programs. A report on the issue was published in 2007. If you have feedback on these items or on this issue, please contact us.
