BRATTLEBORO — Union Institute & University (UI&U), a nonprofit, private university offering degree programs designed for the busy adult, will host an open house from 2-4 p. m., Saturday, June 18, at the Brattleboro Academic Center located at the Vermont Agricultural and Education Center (VABEC), 3 University Way.
The open house will provide prospective students with program highlights as presented by a student, alumni, and faculty panel. Optional break-out groups will be led by faculty who will present information on a variety of concentrations including arts, writing and literature; education (teacher licensure track available), environmental studies & sustainability; and global studies.
Academic advisors will be available for transcript evaluation, if requested, and a financial advisor from VSAC will have information on financial aid options for Vermonters.
In UI&U's B.A. program, students design their studies through lenses focusing on their own interests. With a low-residency program in place - one weekend a month at the Brattleboro Academic Center - students who are currently working full-time and dealing with other commitments have the opportunity to finish their next degree without giving up the face-to-face interaction with faculty and staff. Union also offers the B.A. degree program in Montpelier and completely online.
Union currently has articulation agreements with institutions including the Community College of Vermont (CCV) and offers tuition discounts to CCV graduates with earned associate's degrees. The university also has a liberal transfer policy and can accept credits from a variety of sources, including life experience and workshop documentation.
