<p>That’s a little misleading. There are actual jobs out there that are open only to graduates of accredited engineering programs, and recent University of Chicago graduates need not apply (and don’t). University of Chicago graduates may be able to get an engineering credential with some extra training, and may wind up going farther and faster in engineering because of what non-engineering background they bring to the table. They will be competitive for jobs that don’t require an engineering degree, and for all sorts of graduate programs. But however you look at it the lack of an accredited undergraduate engineering program would have a meaningful impact on a Chicago student who wanted to be an engineer.</p>
