The accrediting body found no deficiencies, weaknesses, or concerns throughout the process, which is a significant accomplishment, according to Jose Cordova, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Computer Science.

ج‎

The Computer Science program in the ذكذكتسئµ College of Business and Social Sciences was established in 1984 and was first accredited in 1986.

ج‎

“ABET accreditation is an important recognition of the overall quality of the program and its compliance with various professional standards, including faculty credentials, curriculum, equipment, and continuous improvement processes,â€‌ stated Cordova.

About the accrediting process

ج‎

Serving on the accreditation committee were Cordova and other members of the Computer Science faculty.

ج‎

The accrediting process starts with the preparation of a self-study report that provides evidence of compliance with various accreditation standards.ج‎

ج‎

A few months after the report is submitted, a team of ABET program evaluators visited ذكذكتسئµâ€™s campus and met with faculty, students, administrators, industry partners, and staff members.ج‎

ج‎

After the visit, the ABET team submitted an initial report.ج‎The final accreditation decision was made by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET at its annual meeting.

ج‎

“The ABET accreditation serves as an important â€کseal of approval’ that current, prospective, and former students can take intoج‎consideration when evaluating the quality of our program.ج‎This achievement is a validation of the hard work and dedication that Computer Science faculty and students demonstrate every day,â€‌ stated Cordova.
