Undergrad Chemical Engineering Rankings?

Does anybody have them for this year?

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

Also, does anybody know if Georgia Tech has a strong Chem E program?

^ 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.

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

1. Cooper Union
2. Rose-Hulman
3. Rowan U
4. Bucknell
4. Manhattan College
4. U of Minnesota-Duluth

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).

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.

^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.

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

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

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.

I think it's important for people to know what kind of "fun" we are talking about.

hey bclintonk

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.
