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?

I have spoken to DeVry about the possibility of them becoming ABET accredited. Me personally, I would like to see that happen very much. However, over the phone they didn't sound confident, and I got the impression they will constantly be saying the same thing for years to come. Like I said, it sounds good, but doubtful.
 
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 .
