- "Since its origin in 1879, Union College has provided students from throughout Appalachia, and all over the country, with a collegiate experience to ensure lifelong success. Union is grounded by four pillars that define our focus as an academic institution: service to each other and our communities; our Appalachian culture and heritage; our core affiliation with Methodism and the liberal arts academic experience. The four pillars highlight Union’s strengths, values, mission and identity." The college enrolls over 1,030 students, has a 12:1 student-faculty ratio, and offers 39 majors.
