At Union, you'll take three courses each term and have opportunities to meet with your academic advisor 50 percent more often than at most colleges and universities. We encourage you to explore multiple academic areas to uncover the unique ways your interests intersect. You can chart your own path by combining majors and minors and/or choose from pre-designed interdisciplinary studies programs, which integrate coursework from multiple academic departments across campus.
No matter what your path looks like, you'll find more entry points to new academic interests, access popular classes and common prerequisites and enjoy the flexibility to study abroad, even in the most structured majors.
