<p>I guess what I said above doesn’t matter much (ABET accreditation in BENG)

^That thread goes over how it is not as important in bioeng.</p>

<p>Nonetheless, I found this on the BENG brochure:</p>

<p>“The bioengineering program will be submitted for accreditation by ABET, Inc. (formerly the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) at the earliest opportunity (expected in 2012 at the time we expect to have our first graduate).”</p>

<p>It says 18 months, so it should most definitely be accredited by the time you graduate. It’s nothing I would loose sleep over given the above thread.</p>
