<p>Another supposed reason why CS doesn’t need to be accredited is that a lot of employers don’t require a CS degree. In fact, a lot of listings say something along the lines of ‘Degree Requirements: BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or closely related discipline’ where related discipline could be physics, math, IT, etc. Berkeley even lets CS minors apply to the graduate program here. haha</p>
<p>I think Software Engineering, more than any other field of engineering, doesn’t actually require formal training. Rather, employers want to see your hacking skills/potential.</p>
