When you choose an accredited program,
you are choosing wisely.
Accreditation assures that a program has met
quality standards set by the profession.
To employers, graduate schools, and licensure,
certification, and registration boards, graduation from an
accredited program signifies adequate preparation for entry into the
profession. In fact, many of these groups require graduation from an
accredited program as a minimum qualification. Here are some
examples:
-
NICET Technologist Certification requires a bachelor's degree
from an ABET-accredited engineering technology program.
-
The United States
Patent and Trademark Office requires applicants in computing to have
graduated from an ABET-accredited computing program
before they are eligible to sit for
the Examination for Registration to Practice in Patent Cases.
-
Many
state boards of professional licensure in engineering and
surveying require applicants to have graduated from an
ABET-accredited program. In states where non-ABET graduates are
permitted to be licensed, an additional four to eight years of work
experience may be required.
-
These certification bodies require additional
experience and/or credentials evaluation for applicants who have
graduated from non-ABET-accredited programs:
Be proud to choose an ABET-accredited program.
Whether you study applied science, computing, engineering, or
technology, ABET accreditation is an important indicator of your
program’s commitment to quality and may be a key to your
professional future.
