Quick Facts The College Calendar Campus
Every college or university has a distinctive atmosphere.
A unique vision shapes the character of an institution and makes it particularly appealing to students.
Columbia Union Colleges is a small private college near the nation’s capital with deeply-felt Christian roots. As a result, the college displays excellence in terms of its own distinctiveness, with an emphasis on classes that are smaller and taught by professors who bring not only the kind of technical capability you would expect at a college at the nation’s capital, but also a strong sense of mission. This translates into a more personal style of teaching, where students are not lost in the shuffle, as is possible in larger institutions. Also, because we are located at the nation’s capital, our classes take on a distinctive excitement due to the resources available. For example, where in another part of the country a class might talk about a Supreme Court decision, our students can visit the Court and listen to the testimony and watch history being made. Where in another part of the country a class might study about a foreign culture, our students can actually hop on the Metro and go down and visit the embassy. The fact that we’re a Christian college with a distinctive emphasis on service (our motto is "Gateway to Service") means that students also have opportunities, here, to explore their own spiritual journey in ways that are wholly supportive. We believe this adds value to the college experience that is transformational in its nature. Quick Facts The College Calendar Campus
