ABET Accreditation
Striving for Excellence
You want employers to seek your talents and skillsets. Earn a degree from the best. Accreditation ensures an exceptional education experience.
Our ABET accreditation shows that our programs strive for excellence, nothing less. ABET's accreditation is highly respected and sought after because it adds critical value and standards to programs where quality, precision and safety are key. Each program must meet curriculum, faculty, facilities and institutional support standards for accreditation. Teams of highly skilled professionals from industry, academia and government periodically peer review programs to ensure they meet accreditation standards set by the ABET. Earning a degree from an ABET-accredited program means that you'll be well-prepared to thrive in a global, interconnected world.
