Accreditation
The ABET accreditation process, a voluntary, non-governmental process of peer review, helps assure quality in educational programs. ABET-accredited educational programs must meet certain defined standards. The chemical and biochemical engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
The Chemical Engineering (B.S.) degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and Program Criteria for Chemical, Biochemical, Biomolecular and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. The ABET accreditation process, a voluntary, non-governmental process of peer review, helps assure quality in educational programs. ABET-accredited educational programs must meet certain defined standards.
The Biomedical Engineering (B.S.) degree program will have 1st graduates at Spring 2028 and we'll seek accreditation that fall.
