I believe there are some HR or other workers with experience lurking in this sub who might be able to help answer this question.
How much does the ABET accreditation matter? Would it be a dealbreaker?
For more context, I want to apply for NASA after military service. I‘ll have 15 years of job performance with flying experience. My undergrad is Aeronautics from ERAU, which the AST guide specifically states doesn’t count. I‘m currently pursuing a graduate in Systems Engineering from ERAU which lacks the ABET accreditation, so I’m considering switching to JHU since it’s accredited.
The limiting factor is JHU is considerable more expensive for the same degree title with an ABET accreditation. So realistically would it matter if I received my grad degree from ERAU with significant job experience? or would I absolutely must have the ABET accreditation? Thank you for reading and look forward to your responses.
