Best Universities for Chemical Engineering in North America
Updated:
Below is a list of best universities in North America ranked based on their research performance in Chemical Engineering. A graph of 55.4M citations received by 1.11M academic papers made by 678 universities in North America was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.
We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
