Union College

Located in Barbourville, Kentucky and founded in 1879, Union College is affiliated with the United Methodist Church. Home of the Bulldogs, Union is a private, liberal arts-based institution comprised of undergraduate and graduate programs, supporting a diverse academic environment for nearly 1200 students. Union is grounded by four pillars that define our academic focus: service to each other and our communities; our Appalachian culture and heritage; our core affiliation with Methodism and the liberal arts academic experience. These principles promote the intellectual, spiritual and physical enrichment of our campus as well as the economic growth of our Appalachian community.
