Officially chartered in 1795, Union College is the fifth-oldest liberal arts college in the country.

Located in the Capital District of New York State, Union is a highly selective residential and undergraduate college, home to 2,200 students and 220 faculty, and offering 44 majors.

Union was the first liberal arts college to rethink the traditional liberal arts education and adopt an engineering curriculum.
