Rice only has about 15 ChemE's per year graduating, which does not saturate the Houston market.

TAMU and TU both have big classes, however, and they sill all seem to find jobs. I noticed the other day that last year the average starting salary for a Texas A&M Chemical Engineer was $56,000. The average Math SAT score for ChemE's at Texas A&M, according to their web site, is 659. 75% of all Rice students, including their psychology, English, and art majors, have Math SAT scores above 670.

Most chemical engineering schools are adding bio engineering to their names and required classes in order to cash in on the new bio tech industry.

Rice has an exceptional reputation. People know what they are doing, or never set foot on campus.
