Science and Mathematics: the foundation of the future
- At Union, classes and labs are taught not by teaching assistants, but by professors, many of whom possess the highest degrees in their fields.
- Experiential learning is incorporated through experimentation and team-based collaboration to solve multi-disciplinary problems.
- More than 95 percent of medical school applicants have been accepted into respected medical programs over the last decade.
- Biology graduates consistently score higher than the national average on the Educational Testing Service major field exam, a standardized test evaluating skills in a student’s major area of study.
- Students from all disciplines take mathematics and science classes as part of their core curriculum.
- New technology and research facilities will help retain and attract faculty with a passion for research, enhancing the academic experience for students.
Health care professions to the next level
- The curriculum of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, established in 1946, reflects a commitment to wholeness, strong values and the well-being of patients.
- Union’s nursing graduates have consistently higher NCLEX-RN passing rates than the state and national norms.
- Union recently expanded the annual capacity for nursing program admission in response heightened student interest and an increased need for nurses.

Latest Updates
Welcome
You can feel it in the air. There is palpable excitement surrounding campus now that construction of the new Science and Mathematics Complex is well underway. Our Promising Future is happening right before our eyes.
A debt of gratitude is owed to our faithful alumni, friends, and community members for bringing us within 7 percent of our fundraising goal for this project. Now we must work together to complete the project. We are so close.
We’re within the last million dollars that we have been tasked to raise for this transformational project and, while this is a huge number when it stands alone, consider that over $13.5 million has already been committed to the project. We CAN do this.
Now is the time to be part of this project that will serve generations of students. Opportunities like this don’t happen very often. With your collaboration, we can shape the future of Union College.
