This study proposes a method for consolidating various program accreditations into a unified accreditation process for a single academic program. The primary challenge lies in harmonizing the diverse requirements of multiple accreditations. In the context of academic technology programs in Saudi Arabia, this research focuses on the integration of NCAAA and ABET accreditations, with a specific application to the Information Systems at King Abdulaziz university. The core methodology employed in this study involves applying Bloom's taxonomy of learning to identify the synergies between the accreditation criteria of ABET and NCAAA. To ascertain the alignment of learning outcome measurement based on both accreditations, a questionnaire was administered to faculty members within the College of Computer Science and Information Technology at renowned universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This article is intended for researchers specializing in the quality of education in computing and engineering, as well as professionals, developers, and officials with an interest in academic accreditations. Furthermore, this research seeks to establish a foundation for the seamless dissemination of educational content through websites and digital applications, adhering to the standards and principles of academic accreditation.Keywords
