Abstract :
This paper presents the most recent developments in accreditation of computing programs including: the latest progress on the accreditation of information technology (IT) programs including the criteria, the most current information about the accreditation of information systems (IS) programs, the recent changes in accreditation of computer science (CS) programs, and how you can become involved in accreditation activities. The paper compares the accreditation criteria of all three programs (IT, IS & CS) and focuses on the differences between the accreditation criteria of the programs, particularly information technology criteria.
