The engineering programs are ABET accredited. The government only requires engineering candidates to have a degree from ABET accredited schools. UAH has this, so it’s not an issue. I don’t know how many engineering graduates are hired to work for the government agencies locally, but would assume it’s quite a few. Also, many defense and other technology companies operate in the Huntsville area supporting the programs on the arsenal, so there are great opportunities to get internships or full time employment with them.
