<p>ABET accreditation applies to specific degree programs, not schools. It is a high enough bar that choosing between ABET accredited engineering degree programs at various schools is a choice between good and good, or good and maybe even better, rather than good and bad. For some branches like civil engineering, ABET accreditation is important for Professional Engineer licensing.</p>
<p>ABET also accredits computer science degree programs, but some of the top reputation schools in computer science have not sought ABET accreditation for computer science. However, if a school is not a top reputation school in computer science, ABET accreditation in computer science can be assurance of meeting a minimum quality standard.</p>
