<p>Could you guys rank the top 6 UC’s based on how good their cheme undergrad programs are? I tried searching around but only got that UCB and UCSB are probably the top 2 out of the 6</p>

<p>Here’s one list, although I haven’t looked into their ranking methodology and I have no idea who this group is, so don’t put too much stock in it (worth about what you pay for it…): <a href=“Top Chemical Engineering Universities - Chemical Engineering University Rankings And Top Colleges For Chemical Engineering”>http://www.accesseducationindia.com/top-chemical-engineering-courses-usa.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The ranks, on a national scale so you can judge relative strength, are:
UCB: 3
UCSB: 9
UCD: 22
UCSD: 52
UCI: 56
UCR: 57</p>

<p>The first 3 ranks are about what I expect. The gap from UCD to UCSD is unexpectedly large, and I have to profess ignorance about UCI and UCR. Make sure you do your own diligence of the typical course requirements, areas of specialization, research opportunities, etc.</p>
