This paper explores the question of accreditation for MIS Departments located in schools of business. Specifically, it addresses specific requirements of AACSB accreditation and ABET/CAC accreditation that are synergistic, merely compatible, or contradictory. The tentative conclusion is advanced that an MIS department can meet both sets of requirements without unreasonable heroics and that doing so brings benefits to MIS departments.

Keywords: accreditation, business school, management information systems department, AACSB, Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, ABET, Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, CAC, Computing Accreditation Commission
