Union University is a private, not-for-profit four-year institution with a special focus on the arts. Located in Jackson, a mid-sized city in West Tennessee, it serves a relatively small student body in an urban setting. The school emphasizes arts education and maintains a close-knit community feel typical of smaller liberal arts colleges.
The university enrolls 2,674 students and costs $59,276 per year total (tuition, room, and board combined) for both in-state and out-of-state students, with tuition running $38,450 annually. The school has an endowment of about $41.8 million, which provides some financial stability and support for student aid.
Union admits about 47% of applicants, making it moderately selective. The 70-year graduation rate sits at just under 71%, which is solid but worth noting if you're thinking about persistence and support systems. Students admitted typically score around 690 on the SAT reading section and 650 on math, or a 29 on the ACT composite. If you're drawn to a smaller arts-focused environment and want a school that's accessible but still selective, Union is worth a serious look.
