It’s not that your first degree is “bad” and needed to be canceled out, it’s just that going through a specialty accreditation process is less common for associate’s programs. Most community colleges work with their state system schools to prove that their graduates are ready to transfer rather than seeking national accreditation for individual programs.

The school as a whole would have regional accreditation, but most individual majors probably do not have specialty accreditations like ABET, except in healthcare career programs where it’s required for graduates to get a job.

Get your bachelor’s from an ABET accredited program. You will be fine.
