AI Thread Summary
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?

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 .
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
