| About this School |
| Union College of Schenectady, New York is a non-denominational, independent, highly selective liberal arts college in New York's Capital District. It was chartered in 1795, though the college can trace its beginnings to 1779. Several hundred residents of northern New York, certain that Burgoyne's defeat at Saratoga two years before would mean a new nation, began the first popular demand for higher education in America. These residents pursued that dream for sixteen years until, in 1795, Union became the first college chartered by the Regents of the State of New York.
During the third quarter of the 19th century there was a loss in student enrollment. Union College had to rebuild and redefine itself after that period. Today, Union College offers many programs encompassing the liberal arts and sciences as well as engineering. Nearly fifty percent of the students are enrolled in science or engineering. The current student body is about 2200, almost evenly split between males and females.
Union College is proud of its "Five Pillars:" Converging Technologies (interdisciplinary education and scholarship), The Minerva House system (on-campus "third spaces" to which all members of the community belong), undergraduate research, international study, and community service.
The College is sometimes referred to as 'the mother of fraternities' because many fraternities, including the first three in America, as well as three other national fraternities, were founded there. More fraternities have been founded at Union than at any other college or university. The Union Triad is a name given to the first three Greek letter social fraternities with a continuing record founded in America. They were Kappa Alpha (1825) (the oldest fraternity in the nation), Sigma Phi (1827) and Delta Phi (1827).
Students may also elect to join Theme Houses. Currently, there are 12 active Theme Houses, including Wells House, dedicated to community service, Symposium House, which hosts discussions with faculty and students, and Arts House, Music/Culture House, two Language Houses, and Ozone House.
Albany College of Pharmacy, Albany Law School, Albany Medical College, Dudley Observatory, Graduate College of Union University, and Union College together form Union University, a historic linkage dating back to 1873. Each member institution has its own governing board, is fiscally independent and is responsible for its own programs. See also: Union College's description of Union University.
Seven cabinet secretaries, fifteen United States senators, ninety-one members of the House of Representatives, thirteen governors, fifty important diplomats, more than 200 judges, forty missionaries, sixteen generals, and ninety college presidents, including the first presidents of the University of Illinois, the University of Iowa, the University of Michigan, Vassar College, Smith College, and Elmira College, have graduated from Union.
Additionally, Union holds a rather unique honor: two of its alumni, William H. Seward and Robert Toombs, held the title of Secretary of State at the same time, albeit for different parts of the country. Seward was the Secretary of State for the United States of America and Toombs was the Secretary of State for the Confederate States of America. Portraits of both currently hang side-by-side in the President’s House.
