“Come to Union and
look at the academic program.
Look at how well the professors
are trained and how well
they treat you. Whenever I’m
struggling with a concept, I
just love going to talk to my
professors. They take time out
to help me understand. Look
at Union’s mission statement
and then come here to see if
they’re living up to the standards
they say they have.
I think they do."
Union’s third core value is “people-focused.”
Union combines the
advantages of being a nationally recognized
university with the personal attention of a
close-knit learning community. Professors will
know your name and care about your future.
- Union is large enough to offer more than
100 programs of study on the undergraduate
and graduate levels, yet small enough
that 100 percent of our classes are taught
by professors rather than graduate students.
- Union is large enough to be recognized
in national rankings and publications, yet
small enough that every new incoming
student is prayed for by name before they
arrive on campus.
- Union is large enough to attract renowned
scholars to its faculty, yet small enough
that students often are invited to dinner in
the homes of these scholars. In fact, faculty
members also give out their home telephone
numbers and reserve office time for
anyone needing extra help.
- Union is large enough to get national attention
in athletics (including three national
titles in women’s basketball during the last
ten years), yet small enough to provide
individual guidance on personal fitness and
intramural activities that benefit all students.
- Union is large enough to support
a new intercollegiate debate
program, yet small enough that
professors and students frequently
and informally discuss the most
controversial issues of the day
over coffee or at the lunch table.
At Union, students are priority one.
As Union continues to grow, we will
never lose our focus on individual
students. You are the reason we exist.
