Next Question
I found this online list of the US News and World Report rankings.
http://www.infozee.com/channels/ms/usa/chemical-engineering-rankings.htm
As someone who has been in grad school, I can tell you that other things to consider are:
How likely are you to get in? Grad school is VERY selective, especially during tough economic times, and excellent grades and test scores will not make you stand out. Deifinitely apply to multiple back up schools, including ones that are lower ranked than your undergraduate institution. Sorry to be a downer, just trying to help - better to be cautious, I think.
What kinds of financial support do they offer? Is it enough to live on based on the living standards of THAT REGION? If you are currently an engineer and are getting this paid for by your workplace, then 1) disregard this, and 2) Good for you!
3) What will help your own goals? Where do most graduates of the program go - at some institutions, faculty work to help many MA students go onto PhD programs, but some have very few go to the PhD. What are your plans? Also, does the department's philosophy of what a Master's program supposed to teach similar to yours? Is it traditional or is it cutting edge - and which do you prefer?
