Winter term starts in January and finals begin mid-March. Each term lasts 10 weeks, and during each term, students take only three classes. Remember that Union covers the same amount of material in ten weeks that most colleges and universities cover in 15 weeks. As a student at Union, you will have access to hundreds of internship and research opportunities. The Career Development Center will begin working with you as a freshman to help find internship opportunities in dozens of career fields.
Union offers fellowship opportunities every summer that students are eligible to pursue.
The College provides a stipend and housing along with a terrific chance to a participate in research in the subject area of your choice. In addition, just about every academic department on campus requires students to complete some form of research in their subject area before graduation. Also, research grants are available to students looking to perform research and independent studies for credit. You are not able to choose exactly who your roommate will be. Once you send in your deposit to secure your place in the freshman class, you will be sent housing preference forms by the Office of Residence Life.
