Visit Union

Join us for a campus visit and experience Union for yourself. This is your chance to meet the undergraduate professors, talk finances, get a campus tour and eat some free food.

(Graduate students are not eligible. Contact the physician assistant department for a visit: 402.486.2527.)

Are you from Nebraska? You may prefer a day visit.

Appointments usually start at 9 a.m. or 1 p.m. and last three hours.
Not from Nebraska? Eighty percent of our student population is from outside of Nebraska. Come for a weekend and meet the people who make Union College the place to be. Details below.
Here's how it works:
