CSAB is similar to ABET, except that its focus is computer science programs. There are seven major criteria, each with a lengthy set of specific standards. The program has documented, measurable objectives, including expected outcomes for graduates. The program regularly assesses its progress against objectives and uses the results of the assessments to identify program improvements and to modify the program's objectives. Student Support Students can complete the program in a reasonable amount of time.
Students have ample opportunity to interact with their instructors.
Students are offered timely guidance and advice about the program's requirements and their career alternatives. Students who graduate the program meet all program requirements. Faculty Faculty members are current and active in the discipline and have the necessary technical breadth and depth to support a modern computer science program. There are enough faculty members to provide continuity and stability, to cover the curriculum reasonably, and to allow an appropriate mix of teaching and scholarly activity. The curriculum is consistent with the program's documented objectives.
