ABET Accreditation

The Management Information Systems Program in the College of Business Administration was accredited by Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology (ABET). The accreditation action extends retroactively from October 1, 2018. ABET is the well-known and most prestigious US-based accreditation body for Engineering and Technology programs, and takes into considerations various assessment criteria related to students, program educational objectives, students outcomes, continuous improvement, curriculum, faculty, facilities, and institutional support. So, educational content and curriculum were reviewed to incorporate and focus on practical skills related to analyzing, designing, implementing, and evaluating computer-based solution. This revision is to enable MIS graduates from ABET accreditation achieve high-quality education. YU graduates, therefore, have confidence in their MIS major from ABET accredited-program, since their program meets standards essential to prepare them to enter critical STEM fields in the global workforce. MIS graduates of YU from the ABET accreditation are capable of leading the way in innovation, emerging technologies, and in anticipating the welfare and safety needs of the public.

YU has taken steady steps towards international accreditation due its beliefs in quality teaching and learning process. The accreditation of MIS program from ABET comes as a response to achieve such demand in educational competitive markets.
