About This School
UCNJ Union College of Union County NJ is a public institution located in Cranford, New Jersey with approximately 7,760 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $7,251 per year. Typical graduates earn $37,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
At just $7,251/year after aid and a median debt of only $8,500 at graduation, this is one of the more financially sensible starting points for students in northern New Jersey, especially those looking to transfer to a four-year school or enter a trade-focused career. The concern worth flagging is that median earnings sit at $37,100 a decade out — modest for the region — so students should think carefully about their transfer plan or career path to avoid leaving money on the table. Worth considering if cost and flexibility are priorities, but it rewards students who come in with a clear goal.
