<p>I'm going to Washington University in St. Louis next year. I'm considering engineering / computer science.</p>
<p>WashU has several ABET-accredited engineering programs, but its computer science program is not ABET-accredited.</p>
<p>Is ABET Accreditation as important in Computer Science as it is in other engineering majors?</p>
<p>Exactly what I want to know....Is ABET advantageous?...anyone?</p>
<p>Incidentally, it has an accredited Computer Engineering degree. Just not a Computer Science degree.</p>
<p>No. ABET's not advantageous for any field where, professionally, it's not necessary to obtain a professional engineering license. Comp Sci is one of those majors. </p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
