APU Has Announced a BS in Electrical Engineering

According to the program director, the ABET guidelines have been met, but they can not be formally accredited until the first student successfully completes the program. At that point, they will be ABET accredited (and student work "grandfathered in". Dr. Doyle is very accessible - if anyone has questions about accreditation or any aspect of the program, I'm sure he'd get back to you very quickly. The first students will be completing the program as early as 2016 (I'll be one of them!).

Thanks for the update! I said it before, but I love that school more and more. Not to detract from your news, but I'm 100% sure colleges can't grandfather in REGIONAL accreditation, so I'm curious about how the ABET process works. I have ZERO knowledge about ABET, and I don't even know if you need or care about that for your career... just tingled my spidey senses, so you may want to follow up if that is a deal breaker for you.
