<p>Accredited</a> Programs details</p>
<p>I'm looking at this school for DS#2. Just checking for opinions.</p>
<p>Probably not, as just randomly looking up some other schools:</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon, Princeton, Cornell, and Cal Tech are also not ABET in CS.</p>
<p>That said, I am really not very knowledgable about how important ABET accreditation is or is not for CS.</p>
<p>My S is a junior, majoring in Information Technology. He is doing really well at the school and has just completed a co-op at a major technology corporation.</p>
<p>Interesting qoute from coll powler</p>
<p>“Since RPI is primarily an engineering school, Computer Science seems to take a backseat at times. Some of the professors are not very good with computers at all, and frequently make simple mistakes that cause their entire lesson to fail. However, as long as you can keep up with homework assignments, there really is a lot to learn from them.”</p>
<p>Anecdotal, so taken with a grain (boulder) of salt.</p>
<p>Computer Science isn’t really the right field for learning how to operate computers. What’s more important is that the professors know their material, which (with 2 exceptions that co-teach a certain required class), they do.</p>
<p>Thanks all. I think…we (meaning my son, LOL) need to edjucamate ourselves on the different ‘Computer’ degrees, be it engineering, science, MIS, IT, etc. Add to that the fact that kids change their minds, and it pays to research/look in depth.</p>
