The American University in Dubai (AUD), a private institution of higher learning, said that the computing accreditation commission of ABET, a US-based accreditation institution, has accredited its bachelor of information technology (BIT) degree.

BIT has also been accredited by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

“The CAC of ABET’s accreditation is a further indication of the high standard to which our BIT adheres, seen from an international perspective,” said Dr Lance de Masi, president of AUD.

“As all of AUD’s engineering programmes are also accredited by the engineering accreditation commission (EAC) of ABET, AUD’s commitment to quality in technology-driven disciplines is not to be disputed.”

Figuring among its strategic goals, AUD has pursued professional accreditation for all its academic units, serving as an impetus to continuous quality improvement and a sign of excellence.

That strategic decision has resulted in three professional accreditations: the school of business administration, the engineering programs, and now the information technology programme. – TradeArabia News Service
