DeVry University offers an online Master's program in Electrical Engineering, but it currently lacks ABET accreditation. Conversations with DeVry representatives indicate that the program is under evaluation for potential accreditation, though there is skepticism about the timeline and likelihood of approval. Many participants in the discussion express doubt regarding DeVry's confidence in achieving accreditation, suggesting that the situation may remain unchanged for an extended period. Additionally, it is noted that most Master's programs in engineering do not have ABET accreditation, raising questions about the appeal of choosing DeVry over other options, such as the online MSEE program from North Carolina State University.

Devry University online has a Master's program for Electrical Engineering. The degree is not yet ABET accredited. I talked to someone at Devry and they said that ABET was going to evaluate the program and possibly put the stamp of approval on it (become accredited).

Has anyone heard about this?

Most Masters programs are not Abet accredited anyway. But why choose Devry? I know my school has an online MSEE : http://engineeringonline.ncsu.edu/EOL_DEGREES/MSEE.pdf .
 

Thread 'Pre-req for Ultrafast Optics? (Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics?)'

TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
