I cannot find any information about accreditation at UT Austin (other than [1], which is out of date). I once had a discussion with someone from the academic staff of the CS department (name redacted to protect the guilty), which I may have misunderstood or be misremembering, but included a statement to the effect of, &quot;we aren&#x27;t accredited by anyone; they&#x27;re all following us.&quot; (They did have an external visiting committee who reviewed and made comments on the curriculum.)<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cns.utexas.edu&#x2F;undergraduate-education&#x2F;academic-records&#x2F;sacs-accreditation" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cns.utexas.edu&#x2F;undergraduate-education&#x2F;academic-reco...</a>
