I recently graduated from a college with a B.S. in Computer Science. However, the college is not accredited by the ABET in Computer Science. DOes this matter at all? I noticed that many Ivy league schools do not have this accreditation for example Harvard, Princeton, Cornel, Columbia, Brown, and Yale. The funny thing is I went to two different schools and the first one I went too is now accredited by the ABET for CS; however, the college I graduated from I think was a much better school and had a better program and professors; however, it is not accredited by the ABET for the CS program. I sometimes think that colleges get these accreditations just to get noticed! Please shed some light on this issue for me.
