Union College is an education company focusing on liberal arts, science, and engineering. Established in 1795, it holds the distinction of being the first college chartered by the Board of Regents of the State of New York. The institution prides itself on its commitment to integrating humanities and social sciences with science and engineering, by offering rigorous academics in a diverse and welcoming campus environment. This setting encourages personal growth, cultivates passion, and inspires students to engage with local and global communities through meaningful projects and volunteer work.
Based in New York, Union College is a key player in the education industry, employing 1,499 individuals and generating an annual revenue of $143.5 million. Employees earn an average salary of $43,367 per year, which is lower than some competitors such as Colgate University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Middlebury College. The college has a diverse staff demographic with 48.4% female employees and 36.2% ethnic minorities. However, political diversity is lacking, as 96% of employees are members of the Democratic Party. Despite this, Union College maintains great employee retention, with staff members staying at the organization for an average of 4.2 years.
