Founded in 1795, Union College was the first college chartered by the Board of Regents of the State of New York. It is a small, residential, independent liberal arts college committed to integrating the humanities and social sciences with science and engineering in new ways. Union's rigorous academics take place in a diverse, welcoming campus environment that supports a student's personal growth and inspires them to engage with the local and global community through meaningful projects and volunteer work.
