Comment on YSK: The difference between Regional, National, and scam accreditation in the US for colleges.

It’s been 15 years, but for engineering degrees isn’t “ABET Certified” basically a requirement? Mobile doesn’t let me search, frustratingly, so that website you provided isn’t super useful.

So ABET accredits programs, not schools.
So a school would have either national or regional accreditation (most likely regional) then their programs could have more specific accreditation.
Like Kent State has regional accreditation, then their program has recognition from ABET.
Since there are a million program accreditation things and I have no idea which ones are worthwhile, I didn’t really get into those.

That makes a lot more sense. Grateful for the explanation, thank you.
