To clarify this, BC’s engineering program will be brand new for class of 2025 and BC plans to secure ABET accreditation as soon as they are permitted to apply for it, upon graduation of the first class. Apparently ABET accreditation then has retroactive application for those grads. BC’s new engineering program is not analogous to an LAC 3+2 engineering offering.
