I was accepted into neu for a computer engineering/computer science combined major. Is the combined major program ABET accredited? Thanks
No combined majors are listed on ABET’s site so I think that’s a no, but obviously the CE degree is accredited, and ABET doesn’t make a difference for CS. Given that CE is accredited, compare the CE coursework to the combined degree - as long as they aren’t differing significantly, you will have the skills needed and the jobs that are looking for CE type stuff will be good with the general accreditation of the school/program in my experience.
If you see yourself more on the CE side and want the accreditation, doing a CE major with a CS minor is another good option that will end up being more or less similar classes.
Alright, I talked to the university about this. Pretty much, to be accredited, you need to have had a graduating class in the subject. The combined majors are new enough that there haven’t actually been any graduating classes in that major. The first one graduates in a few months, so they are going for accreditation then. If for some reason they don’t get it, I can always switch to a major/minor or plain double major, especially since I’ll be in my first year.
