Abstract: This paper addresses unresolved issues associated with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Computing Accreditation Commission (ABET CAC) accreditation process for Information Systems (IS) programs. To approach these issues, we will discuss the history of IS accreditation, the standards, the ABET accreditation process, and conclude with some of our observations and recommendations for prospective programs. Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, PA was among the first group of programs evaluated by ABET CAC. This paper is based on Robert Morris University experience with the accreditation process and visit conducted in the Fall of 2002.
