  • 100% ONLINE CLASSES – ATTEND ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.

    Our programs are designed for students from all walks of life. Enjoy the academically rewarding and flexible majors that Union offers with close faculty support and collaboration with other students in-person and online. Most degrees can be completed 100% online.

  • Transfer credit for previous education and work experience.

    With the potential to transfer up to 90 credits for most undergraduate programs, students may be able to complete their bachelor’s degree in one year or less.

  • Opportunities to apply for scholarships and other financial aid.

    In addition to federal financial aid and other outside aid students may receive, Union offers a variety of scholarships.

  • Personalized attention – from enrollment to graduation.

    The Welcome Center and our Student Success Coaches are there to help guide you through the process of applying, enrolling, and registering. Professors also provide one-on-one guidance to students as they progress through their courses.

  • Streamlined admission requirements.

    While many universities charge application fees (as much as $250, in some cases), Union does not charge an application fee. In addition, Union recognizes that test scores don’t fully represent a student’s potential. Applicants who apply are not required to submit scores from standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, GMAT or GRE.

  • High-quality instruction.

    Union’s faculty members include highly regarded professors who also have real-world experience in their respective fields.

  • A commitment to Social Justice.

    Knowledge comes with great responsibility. In every class and as part of the Union Community as a whole, students are encouraged to view their experience through the lens of living, serving and promoting justice in a diverse and interdependent world.
