Berkwood Farmer, Ph.D., dean of the school, said, “We are excited to receive this accreditation that is a testimony to the excellence of our program, faculty and students in management information systems.” He said the accreditation will help MIS graduates when they enter the job market, make local, regional and global employers aware of the excellence of the MIS program at Wright State and assure the parents of students in the program that their investment in a college education at Wright State constitutes an excellent return on investment. ABET is the recognized accreditor of college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering and technology. The accreditation from volunteer professionals in industry, government, academe, and private practice focuses on the MIS curriculum, faculty, facilities and institutional support.
