One of the best parts of my job is talking about the great experience students have at Union College. Here are a few aspects of Union College. I welcome every opportunity to share.
Union's student-led Campus Ministries programs give many opportunities for spiritual involvement and discipleship training. Union offers a traditional Seventh-day Adventist environment, providing a robust framework for making wise spiritual decisions. Strong ties with welcoming local churches mean over 90 percent of Union's students voluntarily join in worship weekly. At Union, students take ownership of their Christian experience. Adventist young people often leave the church after attending college, but that is not true at Union. Five years after graduation, most young alumni are very involved with their local church and continue their spiritual growth.
Union's academic programs are strong, and since 2006, Union has been rated a top tier college in its regional category by U.S.News and World Report. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 13-to-1, students directly interact with professors who will challenge and mentor them, directly contributing to high standards of achievement seen in pass rates for professional exams and graduate school acceptance rates.
The Union is in the top 3 percent of colleges and universities in the country for volunteerism and service-learning as designated by the 2007 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. Union sponsors Project Impact, the longest-running, highest participation collegiate community service day in the country. Union students serve locally by regularly feeding the homeless, operating a foot clinic, and bringing joy to long-term care residents. Globally, students share their time and skills through the Frontier Nursing class, international rescue, relief program, and student missionaries.
Union College students choose from more than 50 majors and emphases in 27 disciplines or create a personalized degree. Union's graduates are sought by graduate and professional degree programs and employers in many fields, including health care, education, communication, social work, business, and international rescue and relief. We are committed to helping students face the challenges of a global marketplace where change is the only constant. Since student leadership is a defining value of the Union College experience, students here develop leadership abilities and learn to become change agents in a changing world.
Union's capital city location offers a safe and enriching environment for study, work, and play. The 50-acre, tree-covered Campus in the College View community, is known for its friendly and safe atmosphere. When campus security is increasingly important, Union College feels fortunate to have a Lincoln police station located adjacent to Campus and a consistently positive safety record. Union recently installed a campus emergency alert system and has a crisis management plan in place. Our location close to downtown Lincoln means students have access to many off-campus jobs, internships, and cultural experiences within 10 minutes of Campus.
A four-year degree at Union offers students the chance to grow in ways that cannot be matched by a community college or big public university. The friends made at Union, both students and professors, become essential to the fabric of our graduates' lives. Union's goal is for students to reach their full God-given potential—not just by teaching them in a classroom but also by empowering them to make wise choices that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
According to a national student survey, Union students rank above the national norm in their satisfaction with their experience at Union, and they rate Union in the top 10 percent for a supportive campus environment. This may explain why Union has the highest rate of alumni giving participation for colleges in its Carnegie Foundation classification. Alumni who graduated from Union typically have such a great experience they become an incredibly loyal and spirited group who give back to their school and still sing the school song.
Union's location in the affordable Great Plains means tuition is in the lower third among Adventist colleges. Our high level of support from alumni and friends allows us to have the lowest tuition of any independent college in Nebraska. Union's new scholarships make a college education here an even better value actual out-of-pocket costs may be less for the same or better quality of other colleges.
Union offers bachelor's (four-year) and associate's (two-year) degrees and a Master of Physician Assistant Studies. Students choose from a variety of academic routes with more than 50 majors, emphases and minors in 27 fields of study or fulfill individual educational goals with a personalized degree.
For students living on or off-campus, participation in student activities is one of the many traits that sets the Union apart from other colleges. Whether a sporting event, banquet, games, or concert, there's something to do at Union every Saturday night, and many times in between. Surveys of Union students show twice the involvement in on-campus activities than the national average.
The Student Life office is the epicenter of this vibrant campus life, an intersection between the college administration and student government. The responsibilities of Student Life include overseeing varsity athletics, providing student health and counseling services, managing the residence halls, sponsoring Associated Student Body activities, ensuring student safety, and formulating and enforcing institutional policies.One of the best parts of my job is talking about the great experience students have at Union College.
