So im in the process of applying to these 4 Uni’s and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on each of their ChemE programs. From what i’'ve read, all are very good and respectable engineering colleges, so im not too worried about choosing one over the other. But, what i want to know most is which of these schools gets the most exposure for their grads to companies and provides their students with internship oppurtunities and all that jazz.

Im not too concerned about which school has the highest paid newly grads, but some info on that would be appreciated too. It isn’t a major criteria for me but its still just nice to know.

Thanks for any feedback!

Apply to all 4, get into a couple, then choose after touring the schools and talking to current students.

However, that is not specific to chemical engineering; a school’s graduates’ post-graduation pay levels can be heavily influenced by the mix of majors.

SJSU has limited career survey results indicating that 3 responding chemical engineering graduates for 2014-2015 had an average pay level of $62,500: http://www.sjsu.edu/careercenter/docs/Salary%20Survey%20Report%202014-15.pdf

The other three schools do not appear to have career survey results by major.
