“Before the first day of classes was over, it was already apparent that my classes at Union were extremely beneficial to my medical education. Many of the lessons I’m getting now are reinforcements to the concepts that were first introduced to me by the excellent professors at Union. I have never been more certain that Union University holds true to its commitment of academic excellence.”
Union’s first core value is “excellence-driven.” You’ll gain knowledge from faculty members who not only are leaders in their fields, but who are committed to serving as mentors, coaches and advisors to their students. They’re people who are committed to classroom teaching and the highest levels of scholarship. The student/teacher ratio at Union is 12 to 1. That’s among the best ratios you’ll see at any university.
Union is committed to educating the nation’s top students. This past year, the Scholars of Excellence program brought nearly 120 students to campus for a weekend of interviews, discussions and fellowship. Scholars of Excellence candidates have a minimum 31 ACT or 1360 SAT (combined critical reading and math). Everyone invited to compete during Scholars of Excellence weekend receives offers of significant assistance, from at least half-tuition to full-tuition, room and board.
But Union is also committed to helping students who may fall short of some minimum admission requirements through its acclaimed Keystone Program. Through this program, students are given tools to succeed at Union, with many achieving a level of academic success they may not have thought possible.
At Union, all students become part of an environment where excellence is expected.
For more than a decade, Union University has been ranked as a top-tier institution by U.S. News and World Report. Our students are encouraged to invest themselves in their education and to let the best in themselves come to the forefront. That’s why excellence is our first core value.
