We are located on the beautiful Union College campus in Schenectady, New York. Union Graduate College serves full- and part-time students, providing outstanding master’s-level professional degree and certificate programs in education, engineering (electrical and mechanical), computer science, engineering and management systems, business administration, health administration and bioethics. A Union Graduate degree is defined by: Professionalism. Small classes foster healthy discussions and debates between faculty and students, and support a dynamic case-method approach to learning as well as team projects that strengthen students’ leadership and interpersonal skills. Experience. Capstone projects, completed in collaboration with faculty or dynamic corporations and organizations, prepare students to take on complex problems and questions, assume responsibility, and become the professionals successful organizations rely on. High Motivation. We challenge students to hard work, think innovatively innovative, and demonstrate strong self-discipline. Through collaboration and teamwork, students encourage one another and develop the ability to work effectively with others. An Immediate Return on Investment. Close relationships with leading employers in manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, education, and other fields provides students extensive opportunities to work on real projects and problems with faculty, and to land internships that provide valuable hands-on experience in their fields of interest. Union Graduate College alumni hit the ground running. The Best Opportunities. A career and placement that office serves only graduate students and the employers who hire them. These professionals have developed strong relationships with local companies and organizations. They understand the skills and qualifications graduate students need to secure top jobs and internships. Responsiveness. Most faculty have hands-on experience in the areas they teach, and are highly sensitive to important trends and changing employer needs. They are quick to respond with courses and programs that meet the interests of students and the demand of the marketplace. Of course, no catalog can capture the heart and soul of a college: the dedication of our faculty, the camaraderie and collegial relationships of our students, the care and concern 6 of our administrators, and our close working relationships with the professional community are hard to express fully in print. We invite you to start your exploration of Union Graduate College with our catalog. However, we hope that you will call us or visit the campus to get the true flavor of our offerings and our environment. Sue Lehrman, PhD President 7 MISSION AND… Mission To provide professional master’s degree programs that equip promising students with the knowledge and competencies employers want and graduates need to shape successful careers. Educational Commitment To deliver student-centered programs, taught by committed teacher-scholars, which prepare graduates who think critically, communicate effectively, demonstrate disciplinary excellence, and are socially and ethically responsible. Vision To serve as a model of innovative, professional graduate education, based on strong community partnerships, that offers unique and highly effective programs and that leverage the economic and cultural vibrancy of New York’s Capital Region. Academic Conduct and Honesty Union Graduate College is dedicated to teaching its students the most productive academic approaches, the best professional practices, and the highest ethical standards. We believe these goals will develop graduates who conduct themselves with dignity, who are recognized for their honesty, and who are productive in their respective fields. Academic honesty is one critical component of the college’s purposes and ideals. Academic honesty is observed when persons think critically and independently, when they act with integrity, and when they distinguish clearly between the work done by others and their own work. The faculty demonstrate these qualities in ways appropriate to their own vocational fields. They promote academic honesty in their students and the college supports them with rules for examinations and for citing literature sources, and defines disciplinary consequences. (Refer to the student handbook for more information). 8 Union Graduate College Academic Calendar 2007- 2008 MAY 2007 14 Summer Registration begins (ends the first day of a class @ 4:00) JUNE 2007 7 Spring classes end 11-13 Spring Exams 16 2007 Commencement 18 Summer I – School of Management 1st term begins (ends 7/24) Summer II – School of Engineering/Computer Science term begins (ends 8/24) 19 Summer II – School of Education term begins (ends 8/10) JULY 2007 24 Summer I – School of Management 1st term ends 25 Summer III – School of Management 2nd term begins (ends 8/30) 30 Summer III – Bioethics Program 2-Wk Pro-Seminar begins AUGUST 2007 10 School of Education Summer Program Ends 13-24 Fall Registration 24 Summer II – School of Engineering/Computer Science term ends 30 Summer III - School of Management 2nd term ends SEPTEMBER 2007 5 Fall term begins NOVEMBER 2007 5-16 Winter Registration 13 Last day of fall term
