Computer Information Systems
Department Earns ABET Accreditation
Metro State’s Computer Information Systems (CIS) program
has become one of the first of only a small number of CIS programs
in the country to have earned accreditation from ABET, the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology. CIS joins the College’s
computer science and three engineering technology programs (civil,
electrical and mechanical) as ABET-accredited programs.
“It was a team effort,” said Department Chair Abel
Moreno. “All 16 of the department’s full-time faculty
participated in varying degrees.”
ABET is composed of four accreditation commissions: applied science,
computer, engineering and technology. It began accrediting information
systems programs in 2002-03. As of October 2006, only 20 of an estimated
1,000 or more programs in the United States had earned accreditation.
The University of Nebraska at Omaha is the only other institution
in the western U.S. with ABET accreditation.
