<p>US News lists the top-10 schools for six chemistry subfields (analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, physical, and theoretical). These rankings are usually relevant just to people applying to grad schools. But for ambitious and very talented undergrads, it’s nice to have a chance to do research with some of the leading figures in the field. Anyway, NU are in the top-10 in three of them:
inorganic: 3rd (behind MIT and CalTech)
physical: 7th
theoretical: 3rd (behind Berkeley and CalTech)</p>
