ABET Accreditation

Image
new ABET logo

The College of Engineering offers seven BS degree programs that are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (www.abet.org). 

Why Accreditation Matters 

ABET is a nonprofit, ISO 9001 certified organization that accredits college and university programs in applied and natural science, computing, engineering and engineering technology. 

ABET accreditation assures that a college or university program meets defined global standards of quality according to their discipline. Once achieved, accreditation is renewed periodically.

Professional licensure, registration and certification for engineers typically requires graduation from an ABET-accredited program as a minimum qualification.

Educational Objectives, Student Outcomes and Student Enrollment Data

The most up-to-date Factsheets and Data Tables can be found on the University Analytics and Institutional Research website.

The educational objectives and student outcomes, as well as enrollment and graduation data, for each UMass Amherst College of Engineering program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET can be found at the links below:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Civil Engineering
  • Computer Engineering
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Industrial Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering

The new UMass Amherst Environmental Engineering bachelor’s degree program will seek its initial accreditation in 2028 subsequent to the first cohort of students graduating; we will also seek retroactive accreditation for the two academic years prior to the on-site review.
