The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.
- Major Focus - How much a school focuses on chemical engineering students vs. other majors.
- Major Demand - The number of chemical engineering students who choose to seek a bachelor's degree at the school.
- Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
