[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]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[/b]. 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.

I’m sure W&M is a great school just not for CS. [/quote]

I don't think this is true.  I work for Amazon Web Service (AWS) and we don't care where you get your degree from.  If you can pass the on-site interview, with actual real world scenarios, we will hire you, even if you graduate from WM.[/quote]

+1. Top tier schools don't care about the ABET certification. [b]Michigan CS gave up their ABET certification [/b]for whatever reason and their kids are not affected by that. DS' friends are being placed at top companies for internships and jobs.. I'm talking Google/Citadel level. [/quote]
seriously?  That would give me pause. [/quote]

Why? Stanford and Berkeley don't care for ABET accreditation either. Lower schools do care though.. It's like the PMP. We look for them in beginner and junior PMs. No one's going to ask the VP of Program Delivery if they have a PMP.[/quote]
As far as PMP certification is concerned, when I look at linkedin jobs, they all want PMP certification, irrespective of # of years experience.

But, I get your point about ABET certification.  From what I've read, because CS is "newish" field, ABET certifications aren't as important.

But, UMich CIS  is ABET certified.
