Accreditation (how important is it)?
For context I'm an American but I just finished my first year at the University of Limerick. It's an internationally recognized university, it's well funded and I really like it so far. My course (Electrical Engineering) is new as of 2 years ago, so nobody has graduated from it yet, but it's an offshoot of a very good and accredited Electronics program. I want to move back to the US after I'm done here, and work in the power industry or maybe in some industrial HVDC stuff, I'm not too sure yet. Here at UL pretty much every other engineering degree is accredited, but Electrical Engineering isn't yet. I still have time to switch to electronics, with an optional 5th year masters degree in power. Should I do that, or is it fine to assume that the degree will be accredited by the time I graduate? How important is accreditation actually?
