As someone in industry, I would NEVER ADVISE any kid to pursue any sort of engineering program (and CS sits in engineering schools) to go to a program that isn’t ABET accredited. My company won’t even hire an intern from a college that isn’t ABET accredited so we don’t recruit or consider W&M  for internships.

“200,000 problem solvers graduate from ABET accredited programs yearly.” abet.org Obviously not that hard, so maybe best to make sure it has that accreditation. [/quote]

Thanks! Illuminating table.

I’ll do my best to make my kid stay away from those schools lacking accreditation. [/quote]

Yep, you can skip Stanford for Radford.  It's a fantastic life decision.
BTW,  the schools are accredited by many bodies.  There are many good reasons excellent CS programs would focus on guidance from CS focused accrediting bodies than the more slow-moving engineering one.  One big thing being not teaching things that are no longer relevant with AI.[/quote]
