Accreditation assures that a program has met quality standards set by the profession.

To employers, graduate schools, licensure, certification and registration boards, graduation from an accredited program signifies adequate preparation for entry into the profession. In fact, many of these groups require graduation from an accredited program as a minimum qualification.

ABET and CAMPEP accreditations are assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards established by the profession for which it prepares its students.
