ABET Accreditation Matter for Computer Science!!

<p>I recently graduated from a college with a B.S. in Computer Science. However, the college is not accredited by the ABET in Computer Science. DOes this matter at all? I noticed that many Ivy league schools do not have this accreditation for example Harvard, Princeton, Cornel, Columbia, Brown, and Yale. The funny thing is I went to two different schools and the first one I went too is now accredited by the ABET for CS; however, the college I graduated from I think was a much better school and had a better program and professors; however, it is not accredited by the ABET for the CS program. I sometimes think that colleges get these accreditations just to get noticed! Please shed some light on this issue for me.</p>

<p>Regards,</p>

<p>I think the most employers don’t ask for ABET, so don’t worry. The most important things are your coursework, completed projects, problem solving skills, and people skills. If you survive the interviews, you got hired.</p>

<p>You’re right. ABET accreditation does not matter for computer science programs.</p>
