For your husbands perspective Texas A&M or Colorado School of Mines would be the place to go as they are top ranked schools for petroleum engineering (and not in the top 20 overall) and big oil recruits them heavily. Go to UA and I doubt they have any recruiting going on there or very little for petroleum/chemical engineering so major is very important in determining which university to attend. Not knocking UA here just saying rankings do matter for recruitment in particular careers.
