<p>I assumed that ABET accredation mattered for engineering programs, since it is a nationally recognized thing. Then I looked at computer science and realized that Stanford and Carnegie Mellon, two of the most respected schools for computer science, aren't accredited. Is it safe to assume it doesn't matter, at least for computer science students?</p>
<p>I'm looking at Northwestern and University of Southern California, which have their certification, and Carnegie Mellon and Rice, which don't have it. Any advice about these schools would also be appreciated. :)</p>
