Union College

Choosing a liberal arts education is choosing a course of action
that can prepare you for life. Highly competitive athletics, a
wide range of service opportunities, exposure to the arts, a
chance to explore the Appalachian wilderness and the opportunity
to succeed is what makes the Union College experience unique.
Academics at Union College are intensely personal. Our small
classes and low teacher-student ratio means you can pursue
whatever subjects interest you. And our curriculum provides a
“big picture” approach to education. Instead of focusing on one
subject, you’ll study many disciplines—and see how they all
connect to one other and why that matters. Instead of being told
what to think, you’ll learn to speak your mind. Instead of
accumulating facts, you’ll gain knowledge you can use now and in
the future.
Our distinctive approach includes opportunities for you to
experience life beyond the Union campus. Our location lends
itself to possibilities ranging from class trips and field work,
to internships and service learning, to study abroad trips and
research.
Union’s hometown of Barbourville, Kentucky is surrounded by
wilderness. In fact, the famous Wilderness Road spans the east
side of the campus and Cumberland Gap National Historic Park is
a mere 30 miles away. This, along with four state parks, miles
of lake, river and stream and endless opportunities for outdoor
learning, make Union College the place where students can really
experience life beyond the classroom.
