请问一下美本CS专业是否有ABET认证重要吗？

如题，同样是CS系下的两个专业，一个有ABET认证，一个没有。有ABET认证的需要多修4门课，可能导致延期一个学期毕业。请问题这个ABET认证在找工作或者以后申硕士博士时重要吗？我上官网看了，说是有些跨国公司招聘时会要求专业是有ABET认证的，那么这个真的那么重要吗？值得为这个延期毕业吗？毕竟还要花少时间和金钱成本。
本来我想发到职场达人去问问已经工作的前辈，但那里好像不允许发这个内容，所以只好发在这里。

补充一下，有ABET认证的在工程学院，没认证的在文理学院，那如果不考虑认证问题，工程学院毕业的认可度会更高吗？同样的，值得为了是工程学院毕业而不是文理学院毕业，多上一个学期吗？

没必要，据我了解CS不会看这个认证。

好的，谢谢！那就还是早点毕业吧。

我后来再搜了一下，看到了一些相关回答，发在这里，给有同样疑问的人参考。
==================
Do you think employers care for ABET-accreditation though?

For Computer Science degrees? No.
For Software Engineering degrees? No.
For All Information Systems degree variants? No.
For all Information Technology degree variants? No.
For all Cybersecurity degree variants? No.
For Data Science / Information Science degree variants? No.

=======================
The 'E' in ABET stands for Engineering, whereas the 'S' in CS stands for Science - that's the reason a lot of popular CS programs aren't ABET accredited... The ones that are accredited are usually the CS programs which are housed within Engineering colleges... But don't worry, nobody really cares about it, employers and educators included.


For CS it's really not important - as far as I know the patent office might be the only employer who cares.
ABET is far more influential when it comes to traditional engineering fields where state licensure is important in professional practice - civil engineering especially.

it doesn't matter. literally stanford and cmu cs aren't ABET accredited.

=========================
I’ve conducted hundreds of engineering interviews when working at FB and not once do I recall seeing anything about ABET on a resume. I’ve never even heard of it until today. I don’t think anyone in the software industry cares about it. It’s more about what you know and what you can do than where you’re from.
