Chem E is in the Chemistry department in LAS mainly as a quirk of history. When it was started in the early 1900’s, the engineering department had no chemistry related teachers or labs. (Another quirk: the Physics Department is in the College of Engineering but the Physics major is considered one in the Liberal Arts & Sciences College-- set up in the 1800’s that way because all other universities considered physics a program in liberal arts & sciences.) The distinction is one without a difference. It is just as difficult to get admitted to chem E as to programs in the college of engineering and it follows the usual required courses of the college of engineering. Computer Science, which is in the college of engineering is not “any better or worse.” All the engineering programs are highly regarded and all are difficult.
