Sure, I can definitely help you with that. Let's look at some of the top accounting undergraduate programs, according to various world university rankings.

1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA: The chemical engineering department here is known for its cutting-edge research and in-depth coursework.

2. University of California--Berkeley in the USA: Similar to MIT, UC Berkeley is known for academic rigor and prominent faculty in its chemical and biomolecular engineering department.

3. University of Cambridge in the UK: The Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology offers an undergraduate course that combines technical engineering with scientific research, making it an exciting and novel approach to the field.

4. Stanford University in the USA: Stanford's chemical engineering department mixes traditional areas of the field such as chemical processing with emergent areas like nano science and biological engineering.

5. National University of Singapore (NUS): Their Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering ranks highly internationally and is known for its comprehensive curriculum and intensive research options.

6. ETH Zurich (Switzerland): Known for its comprehensive bachelor's program in Chemical and Bioengineering. This program has an extensive focus on core science subjects in the first years, with more specialized courses in the final year.

7. Imperial College London (UK): The Department of Chemical Engineering is one of the best in the world and offers a four-year undergraduate program that culminates in a master’s degree (MEng) in Chemical Engineering.

8. Technical University of Munich (Germany): Known for providing students with strong technical training along with the opportunity for extensive internships and industrial research.

Please note that admission to top-tier chemical engineering programs is highly competitive, and you'll generally need excellent grades, positive letters of recommendation, and a strong personal statement. Additionally, being able to demonstrate a passion for chemical engineering – whether through internships, research projects, or related extracurriculars – will also be beneficial. Lastly, keep in mind, some schools might consider SAT or ACT scores important, for international students, while some might not even require them at all.

Hope this helps on your quest for the perfect chemical engineering program!
