Would it be a problem to get accepted by regionally accredited universities since I'm coming from a DEAC accredited university which is nationwide accredited? I found some schools that specifically mention ABET accreditation but I also found some that say they accept both. Is there a list of schools that shows who accept the broad variety of accreditations? Like I'm looking for a table that says this school accepts DEAC andABET or this school only accepts CHEA and that only ACPE etc.?
Since my goal is to get a job related to computer engineering, would it be necessary to get licensed by NSPE or similar and gain internship experiences and certifications (such as Cisco etc) in order to be more successful in my job search? Are there any other things you can recommend that would be beneficial?
With a degree from a nationally accredited school, your options for graduate school at regionally accredited colleges will be limited. Some people have attempted to compile a list of colleges with online degree programs that accept national accreditation, but those won't help you for on ground, computer engineering programs. If you want to go to school on campus, then you should compile a list of programs of interest and look at their admissions requirements. You can also contact them for further clarification.
The Council of Higher Education is not an accrediting body; it's an organization that recognizes accrediting bodies. First, you need to find out which graduate programs accept degrees from nationally accredited schools. Then, you will need to find out if they require that your bachelor's degree be ABET-accredited. NCEES is an organization of licensing boards of various states. All they do is administer the licensing exam; the state you're in will determine the requirements to become licensed (this is where ABET accreditation is important and Grantham doesn't have it). You would have to look at job openings and see whether or not they require those in computer engineering-related positions to be licensed professional engineers (most of them probably don't because they'll have you working under a PE).
