TESU | BS IT | Accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET

Here's the very short answer: No and No. Basically midnighttoil explained it how i would... Essentially, if you are going for a graduate degree from an Ivy school OR an ABET masters, the prereq is an ABET bachelors - in rare cases, they'll let people in without an ABET bachelors.

Anyways, because so many schools are available to choose from, many of them don't have the ABET recognition within their programs, their school accreditation and reputation is good enough to attract potential students and prospective employers. The ABET recognition is icing on the cake, it's not required for most career/industry positions except for Academia or Government.

Oh, and an FYI, if you really want an ABET Computing/IT degree, the only one from the Big 3 or WGU is at Excelsior. I don't think there are many courses that will transfer to that program, even the courses from Study.com - you'll have to dig deeper by emailing Excelsior. It was one of the programs that caught my eye, their BSIT (with concentrations such as Cybersecurity) and the Masters in IT (which is not ABET).
