Additional Programs in the Resch School of Engineering

Not all high-quality programs are ABET-accredited—some may be newly launched or accredited through other recognized bodies.

Computer Science and Mathematics & Statistics are generally accredited under UW-Green Bay’s institutional accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). These programs provide a strong foundation in theory, application and critical thinking—key ingredients for tech-driven careers.
Software Engineering is a new and rapidly growing program, enrolling its first class in Fall 2025. Built from the ground up to reflect today’s cutting-edge practices—including cloud infrastructure, AI, and secure system design—this program is positioned for future ABET accreditation once it has its first graduate.
