"As I found out more about Union, I noticed a balance that they have here between the highest standards of academics and Christ-centeredness.
A lot of Christian schools I looked at sacrifice one for the other. At Union, I found the best balance of any school that I considered. Academics here are excellent because of our Christian commitment. The two go hand-in-hand."
Union’s second core value is “Christ-centered.” Union integrates the Christian faith with top-tier academics in a way that is rare in the world of higher education. Consider what Union University President David S. Dockery says about this concept:
“Our ultimate task, to provide Christcentered higher education, takes place as our minds are renewed by God’s Spirit. At Union University we start from the vantage point of faith which can be integrated with learning across the curriculum, even as we struggle with issues and carry on debate in the pursuit of Truth. In doing so, following the admonition of the Apostle Paul, we seek ‘to take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ’ (2 Cor. 10:5).”
Whether you’re studying accounting or art, engineering or sociology, you’ll understand your role in that field within the context of a Christian worldview. Combine this type of classroom experience with outstanding chapel services and student ministries, and the result is a comprehensive approach to life and learning.
Our GO Trips (GO stands for Global Outreach) take students on mission to more than 20 destinations a year – many of which are in other countries. On-campus opportunities are offered to enrich personal spiritual growth through small groups and an outstanding chapel program.
