I have a question for you guys.

The engineering program at SPSU is not ABET accredited. So this means that you can not get licensed with the Georgia Licensing Boards. Did you guys know? If so, why are you guys continuing to attend SPSU?

I wanted to transfer to SPSU but after I found out about this....

Let me know what your opinion is, I may be misinformed or somehting, lol.
