<p>Sorry, stand corrected. Curious that Tulane still offers Chemical. Biomedical I understand given the huge investment in their Medical and Health programs. Must be a large benefactor.</p>
<p>I recall the howl of fury that accompanied the closure of the other programs (mechanical, civil, etc.) at Tulane from the alumni. I know the program was small compared to other colleges in the area (including LSU and UNO) when I was in New Orleans and didn’t carry as much name recognition with local employers. I suspect they weren’t getting the rersearch dollars.</p>
<p>Note that in VA there don’t seem to be any private colleges with accredited engineering programs. </p>
<p>Anyone looking for engineering in VA should definately look at VCU. The new engineering building is very impressive and beautiful.</p>
