Deciding which school to attend is a major decision. Consider these factors as you compare/evaluate schools that will be a good choice for you: size, location, reputation, admission requirements, courses of study, faculty, faculty-to-student ratio, library, laboratory and other facilities, placement statistics, campus life (including extracurricular and recreational activities). As you can see from this partial list, there are many criteria to investigate.
As you explore Chemical Engineering as a major, be sure the college/university programs you are considering are accredited by ABET, which stands for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
