It's not ABET accredited, but it is regionally accredited -- which all of the big schools are. That means credits earned at WGU will generally transfer to a traditional school.

There are a lot of top schools that are regionally accredited in their CS department but not ABET.

ABET has been for more traditional engineering like Chemical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering and the like.

Even for those schools that do have their CS departments ABET accredited, it's a new thing.

The school I went to, University of Texas at Austin, for example, only became ABET accredited in CS in 2017. Whereas the ChE was ABET accredited in the 1930's.
