Union Adventist University is a private college in Lincoln, Nebraska, United States. Known as Union College from 1891 to May 5, 2024, it is owned and operated by the Mid-America Union Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It is accredited by the Adventist Accrediting Association (AAA) and the Higher Learning Commission. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: an 80% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll generally feel at home, but only 46% actually graduate — a real red flag worth asking admissions about directly. At $20,884/year net cost and median debt of $18,750, the financial exposure is relatively modest, and median earnings of $47,700 a decade out are reasonable but not exceptional. This is worth considering primarily if you're Seventh-day Adventist and want a faith-integrated, small-campus experience (just 439 undergrads) in Lincoln — but students without that religious connection may find limited reason to choose it over other options.
