Organizations Filed Purposes: UNION COLLEGE, CHARTERED BY THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN 1795, IS ONE OF THE NATION'S OLDEST AND MOST DISTINGUISHED LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES WITH ENGINEERING. CONSISTENTLY RANKED AMONG THE NATION'S TOP COLLEGES, UNION IS A LEADER IN EDUCATING STUDENTS TO BE ENGAGED, INNOVATIVE AND ETHICAL CONTRIBUTORS TO A DIVERSE, GLOBAL AND TECHNOLOGICALLY COMPLEX SOCIETY. FACULTY, STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS WELCOME DIVERSE AND TALENTED STUDENTS TO THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY, WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM TO PROVIDE A BROAD AND DEEP EDUCATION, AND GUIDE THEM IN FINDING AND CULTIVATING THEIR PASSIONS. THE COLLEGE OFFERS A WIDE RANGE OF DISCIPLINES AND INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMS IN THE LIBERAL ARTS AND ENGINEERING, AS WELL AS ACADEMIC, ATHLETIC, CULTURAL AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING OPPORTUNITIES TO STUDY ABROAD AND TO PARTICIPATE IN UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH AND COMMUNITY SERVICE.

union college develops every student to lead with wisdom, empathy, and courage, in ways large and small, now and across multiple tomorrows.

THE UNION COLLEGE CURRICULUM EMPHASIZES COLLABORATION WITH STUDENTS AND FACULTY THROUGH SMALL CLASSES AND UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH, INTERNATIONAL STUDY AND LEARNING THROUGH SERVICE. THROUGH ITS UNIQUE INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO THE LIBERAL ARTS, UNION COMBINES THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES WITH SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, EMPHASIZING THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF IDEAS THROUGH HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE. WITH MORE THAN 40 MAJORS AND 55 MINORS TO CHOOSE FROM, UNION STUDENTS CAN PURSUE DOUBLE MAJORS; COMBINE MAJORS AND MINORS; SELECT INTERDEPARTMENTAL AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY CONCENTRATIONS, AND AREA, ETHNIC AND CULTURAL STUDIES PROGRAMS; OR DESIGN THEIR OWN MAJOR. MOST STUDENTS TAKE THREE COURSES IN EACH OF THE THREE 10-WEEK TERMS THAT COMPRISE UNION'S ACADEMIC CALENDAR SYSTEM. NEARLY EVERY ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT REQUIRES STUDENTS TO COMPLETE SOME FORM OF RESEARCH IN THEIR SUBJECT AREA, AND STUDENTS HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK ONE-ON-ONE WITH THEIR PROFESSORS. AT STEINMETZ SYMPOSIUM EACH SPRING, SOME 400 STUDENTS PRESENT THE RESULTS OF THEIR RESEARCH, SCHOLARLY AND CREATIVE ACTIVITIES. MANY STUDENTS CO-AUTHOR PUBLICATIONS WITH THEIR PROFESSORS AND PRESENT AT THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH (NCUR). MANY PARTICIPATE IN BUSINESSES, HEALTH CARE, GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL SERVICE INTERNSHIPS. THE INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE IS A HALLMARK OF A UNION EDUCATION, WITH NEARLY 60 PERCENT OF STUDENTS PURSUING STUDIES, RESEARCH, INTERNSHIPS, AND OTHER PROGRAMS ABROAD. ON CAMPUS, OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEADERSHIP, DISCUSSION AND COMMUNITY ABOUND IN THE MINERVA SYSTEM, OFFERING RESIDENTIAL, ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS. EVERY INCOMING STUDENT IS ASSIGNED TO ONE OF SEVEN MINERVA HOUSES, WHICH ALSO INVOLVE FACULTY AND STAFF. UNION'S BECKER CAREER CENTER HELPS STUDENTS WITH CAREER PLANNING, INTERNSHIPS AND THE GRADUATE SCHOOL AND JOB SEARCH. RECENT TRENDS SHOW THAT ABOUT A THIRD OF GRADUATING SENIORS GO DIRECTLY TO GRADUATE OR PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS, AND UNION HAS EARNED AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION FOR PLACING GRADUATES IN MEDICAL, LAW AND BUSINESS SCHOOLS. UNION'S MORE THAN 22,000 ALUMNI INCLUDE LEADERS IN ALL FIELDS, INCLUDING ARTS, MEDICINE, SCIENCE, ENGINEERING, MEDIA, ENTERTAINMENT, LAW AND POLITICS. GRADUATES INCLUDE NOBEL PRIZE AND ACADEMY AWARD WINNERS, A NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER AND A MCARTHUR FELLOW, AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST, SEVEN CABINET SECRETARIES, A SECRETARY OF STATE, 13 GOVERNORS, 200 JUDGES, 90 COLLEGE PRESIDENTS AND THE 21ST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
