Accreditation

  • New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE)

    Institutional accreditation — accredited · since September 26, 1990 · next review 06/30/2027

ABET program accreditation

None of this school's listed cybersecurity programs appears in ABET's accredited-program database. ABET accreditation is optional and program-specific; its absence does not make a program ineligible here.

Institutional accreditation covers the institution. It does not mean every program is ABET-accredited — ABET accredits individual programs, and we show it only for the program ABET lists.

NSA Centers of Academic Excellence (CAE)

CAE designations are awarded by the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity program (NSA, with CISA and partners) to an institution and its validated program of study. A designation is not accreditation and does not apply automatically to every degree.

  • CAE in Cyber Defense (CAE-CD)

    Designation period: 2007 - 2028 · Designation for institutions whose validated program of study meets the NCAE-C cyber defense criteria.
