How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Union College admits about 43.9% of applicants. The middle range of SAT scores for admitted students falls between 1,310 and 1,480, and ACT scores typically fall between 29 and 33. Among enrolled undergraduates, 14.4% receive Pell Grants and 13.0% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment is limited at 4.6%. Azimuth ranks Union College #987 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects the selective admissions funnel: at roughly 43.9% acceptance, Union College enrolls a smaller share of low-income and first-generation students relative to institutions with broader admission scales. The six-year graduation rate stands at 80.4%, with 86.6% of Pell-eligible students completing within the same window and 90.2% of first-year students returning for a second year. For graduates from low-income backgrounds, median earnings reach $91,600 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing Union College in the 99.0 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth ranks Union College #613 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. The pattern reflects Union College's selective admissions combined with strong outcomes for the low-income students it enrolls: those who gain admission complete at high rates and earn competitive post-graduation outcomes. The institution's limited low-income enrollment scale means that while per-student outcomes are strong, the overall mobility impact is constrained by the number of Pell-eligible and first-generation students the college serves.
