My major is currently Math and Computer Science but I just found out that my UNIV is not abet certifed for CS majors and was wondering if employers really care about that?
CS majors probably prefer ABET, especially the raid versions. But when and where did Counter Strike become a degree? Are you getting an A.S, B.S.,PHD or Masters? I assume this means you won't get owned.
Well, I can't tell you exactly. However I think it's important, and a general rule of thumb would be that good universities are ABET accredited, so if you're not accredited it must not be that good of a program.
Texas Tech University ... they lost the certification since they don't have separate facilities and a stable faculty (they usually leave or get hired for a semester or two)
dude.... if its not ABET certified.. i wouldn't even really bother..... if they're not certified, its for a reason.... ask their engineering dean and see what he was to say about why they're not
yeah, i'd be down at the dean's office raising hell. what happens to you and all the others who are in the program? how often does the ABET committee re-evaluate the program (i.e., can the program be re-accredited before you graduate)? and if the program gets re-certified before you graduate, is your degree ABET-certified? get some answers from them, if they haven't all been fired over this already.
when did they lose the certification? i find it ridiculous that a major university could let that happen. ABET certification is just one of those basic things that you take for granted, it (should) guarantee that your education is up to a certain standard. i'm almost certain that an ABET accredited grad school won't accept you with a non-accredited degree, if you ever decide you want to do that. i'm not saying it will make it impossible or even difficult to get a job, because i don't know for sure. but, there are enough jobs out there that specifically require a degree from an ABET program, that i'd want to have it.
Well I know from an engineering standpoint going to an ABET accredited school is very important. They set the standards and make sure shcools are meeting certain requirements.
its not that big of a deal, Cal Tech, UCSD, and Carniege Mellon arent certified, MIT, UC Berkley, and Cal State Chico are, i dont think you can draw any conclusion from their accrediation or lack of.
Wow, Cal-Tech and UCSD are not ABET certified? Is this only in regards to their computer science program?
WEll for engineering, yes I think it is really important that the school's program be certified. It's an easy way of knowing if the engineering students has taken a set standard of courses.
<< its not that big of a deal, Cal Tech, UCSD, and Carniege Mellon arent certified, MIT, UC Berkley, and Cal State Chico are, i dont think you can draw any conclusion from their accrediation or lack of. >>
wow, that's weird. Accordings to ABET's website, many schools don't care sh!t about their CS Department, most of them have their EE Department certified, including my school (San Jose State Univ).
Thanks for the post. I've never thought the CS Dept at my school is not ABET certified!
Now I can laugh at all the CS friends of mine, hehe.

MIT is not ABET certified.... hmm must be crappy then (no for real its not)
