Universities That Excel in Art & Chemistry

Typically the top universities in the sciences like chemistry differ from those that offer programs in more creative fields like art. However, a perusal of the rankings lists established by "U.S. News & World Report" reveals that some schools do excel in both art and chemistry. This serves as a testament to these institutions' tendency to look upon all aspects of academic inquiry as necessary to providing students with a well-rounded education.
