  10. University of Wisconsin-Madison: Ranked #10 in Chemical Engineering, with a score of 4.1/5.0.

These rankings are based on factors such as:

  1. Peer assessment score (40%): A survey of chemical engineering department chairs and faculty members at other institutions.
  2. Graduation and retention rates (20%): The percentage of students who graduate within four years and the percentage of students who remain in the program.
  3. Faculty resources (20%): The number of faculty members, their research productivity, and the number of research grants received.
  4. Student selectivity (10%): The average GPA and test scores of incoming students.
  5. Research activity (10%): The number of research papers published and the amount of research funding received.

Please note that rankings can vary from year to year, and there are many other excellent chemical engineering graduate programs in the US that may not be included in this list. It's essential to research each program thoroughly and consider factors beyond rankings when choosing a graduate program.
