Chemical Best Engineering Schools

Ranked in 2010

Chemical engineering involves chemistry, biology, math, and physics. Graduates may become designers and inventors, potentially working with everything from nanotechnology to new energy. These are the top chemical engineering programs.

Editor's note: Due to an initial data processing error, the ranking of several schools on this list have changed. As of March 18, 2011, these rankings have been carried over from those published in the 2011 edition which were ranked in 2010. This is the corrected list. However the discrepancies in the rankings themselves were not able to be corrected in the 2012 print edition of Best Graduate Schools.
