Undergrad Chemical Engineering Rankings?

<p>Does anybody have them for this year?</p>

<p>I found a list (I don't know how old it is):
1. MIT
2. Minnesota-Twin Cities
3. Cal-Berkeley
4. Wisconsin-Madison
5. Texas-Austin</p>

<p>Also, does anybody know if Georgia Tech has a strong Chem E program?</p>

<ol>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>UCB</li>
<li>Wisconsin</li>
<li>Minnesota</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>CalTech</li>
<li>UT-Austin</li>
<li>UIUC</li>
<li>Delaware</li>
<li>Michigan</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Georgia Tech</li>
</ol>

<p>Is Cornell in that list</p>

<p>^ The "list" is the most recent US News ranking of undergraduate chemical engineering programs at institutions offering the Ph.D. Cornell ranks #15 in chemical engineering, after #13 Purdue and #14 Carnegie Mellon.</p>

<p>US News also has a ranking of undergrad chemical engineering programs at non-doctoral institutions:</p>

<ol>
<li>Cooper Union</li>
<li>Rose-Hulman</li>
<li>Rowan U</li>
<li>Bucknell</li>
<li>Manhattan College</li>
<li>U of Minnesota-Duluth</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>

<p>Minnesota's an often-overlooked gem here: one of the top chemical engineering programs in the country, and out-of-state tuition and fees of just $14,806/year ($4,000/year above the in-state rate).</p>

<p>Is Cornell your first choice? It is a great school for chemE. They have more fun than any other engineering major at Cornell. Very social.</p>

<p>^chemE is usually the toughest/most demanding engineering major in most schools. I am surprised that they have more fun than any other engineering major at Cornell.</p>

<p>Shared pain=bonding of the group.
How was Fresno? I scared the neighbors after that bad call. They thought somebody was getting killed.</p>

<p>Come on, Sam. The curriculum may be tough but we ChemE folks know how to have fun.</p>

<p>It helps that ChemE is usually one of the smallest departments in the college. When I was at Wisconsin, we had around 60 people in our class and we tended to take a lot of classes together. In fact, we all had to take the Unit Operation Lab in the summer where we worked 40 hrs a week for 5 weeks in a pilot-size lab (*the students now have a choice of taking that in Spain or in Vienna). By the time we graduated, we knew most people in the class and most of the profs in the department.</p>

I think it's important for people to know what kind of "fun" we are talking about. ;)</p>

<p>^ You signed up to resurrect this thread?</p>

<p>hey bclintonk</p>

<p>that list is only for schools where the LOWEST degree offered is undergrad…
so the list doesn’t include schools that offer both grad and undergrad, many of these schools are top chemE schools.</p>

<p>^ ladybug,
I’m not sure what you mean by “schools where the LOWEST degree offered is undergrad.” Wouldn’t that be all of them?</p>

<p>I suspect you meant “schools where the HIGHEST degree offered is undergrad.” And yes, I absolutely agree. I was only attempting to clarify that there’s more than one US News list–one for undergrad engineering programs at schools that also have Ph.D. programs, and another for schools that don’t have Ph.D. programs. I think if you read my post #4 carefully and in context, you’ll see that.</p>

<p>I’m a University of Minnesota Chemical Engineering alum, class of 2008.</p>

<p>EXCELLENT program, and no doubt it’s a pressure cooker.</p>

<p>I double majored in chemE and chem, and the chem program is decent, but not a top program; in comparing the two you could really tell that the chemE program really IS a top program.</p>

<p>Ohio State’s massive Chemical Engineering building (four academic buildings were razed in order to provide the space needed for the project) is currently under-construction!! Go Bucks!! lol</p>

<p>Yet they missed the cut</p>

<p>^^ Indeed barrons!! Perhaps Dow realized that TOSU is already spending $150 million on its Chemical Engineering program for the future, money would therefore be better invested to other schools. :wink: In all honesty, $250 million for 11 schools over a decade means roughly $2.3 million a year per school. This amount is really not that much compared to most projects amongst the B1G schools imho. Not to sound cocky or anything, but if I have to post whenever Ohio State receives a million or two donation on CC, that would probably be every week based on the news. Nevertheless, I am happy for all the 11 schools that were picked!! :)</p>
