Undergraduate Admissions > Visit Us

It only takes one day to see what sets Union University apart from other colleges. Whether meeting our faculty and students or touring the campus, you'll discover why Union is one of the finest institutions and best values in Christian higher education.

As you spend the day with us, ask those tough questions. Look around and consider what you want out of your college experience. Cutting-edge academics? A sincere Christian campus atmosphere? Friendly, accessible faculty members? Union is the place where students' goals and dreams materialize as they develop into leaders for a new century.

Is Union the place for you? Give us one day and you'll see. We are open for visitors Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and the First and Third Saturdays of the month from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. except for holidays. We want to work with you to plan the best possible visit to campus. There are two different types of visits...feel free to schedule a time that works best for you.
