Academic Accreditation

Since its inception, the college has been keen to achieve quality and type in its outputs, especially international quality standards, and makes this one of its priorities. Therefore, the college is interested in evaluating its academic programs with international accreditation bodies on an ongoing basis and forms specialized committees to work on the continuous evaluation of the quality of outputs.

Therefore, a team from the Academic Accreditation Commission for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in the United States of America previously visited the College of Computer Science and Information Technology at King Faisal University, to evaluate and review the nine standards required by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) and verify their availability in the college's two bachelor's programs: Computer and Information Systems, and Computer Science.

The college hosted the team consisting of: a president and an evaluator, for each of the college’s programs, in addition to an observer from the National Commission for Assessment and Academic Accreditation (NCAAA) during the period from 11/29-12/2/1431 AH.

Thanks be to God, the college achieved all nine required standards without any defects that compromise quality and deserved, thanks to God, accreditation from ABET for a period of ( 6) years for the two academic specializations:

  • Computer and Information Systems.
  • Computer Science.
