<p>@my3gr8boyz - Comp Sci is not accredited by ABET at Duke because ABET only accredits engineering programs. Comp sci is in the school of arts and sciences. However, computer *engineering <a href=“which%20is%20a%20part%20of%20the%20ECE%20department%20at%20Duke”>/I</a> has been accredited by ABET since 2001:

<p>Civil and Mech Engineering have been accredited at Duke since 1936 and BME since 1972 (first BME accredited program in the nation!).</p>
<p>Even Stanford, which has one of the best comp sci programs in the nation, isn’t accredited by ABET (again, because straight up comp sci programs don’t qualify):

Stanford doesn’t even have computer engineering listed! And I don’t think people would shy away from going to Stanford in that field.</p>
