<p>Petroleum and Chemical have a lot on common, but petroleum has much smaller class sizes. Some say it’s the most noticeable difference at times. Stanford and Colorado are the next best places for PE, so I wouldn’t say it’s limited to Texas, but the best jobs are in Texas, so you might as well go to the top programs (U Texas & Texas A&M) if you can.</p>

<p>Nuclear undergrad is definitely harder to find and they only rank grad programs now. These are the top 5 nuclear engineering grad schools:

  1. Univ. Mich. - Ann Arbor
  2. MIT
  3. Univ. of Wisc. - Madison
  4. Texas A&M
  5. Penn State</p>

<p>If you just go somewhere with strong chem and petrol programs you can probably change your major pretty easily if you decide you like the other better and after that you can make the decision to do a nuclear grad program if you’re still interested.</p>
