<p>What can you tell me about the Engineering program at Union? How are the job prospects for someone graduating?</p>
<p>this prospie from chicago is interested in the OP’s question.</p>
<p>I see this question is from a few months ago but I will still answer for other people’s benefit. Union is the first liberal arts school to offer engineering, we have had it since 1845. Currently we offer majors in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, Bioengineering, and a minor in Electrical Engineering. An engineer would have to declare engineering as a major by the end of his/her first-year and an engineering major is required to take 40 courses to graduate (all other majors have 36). Engineering classes will be small (intro courses average 20 students and upper level courses average 10) and labs are usually not much larger than 16 students. You will get to know your professors very well and have lots of opportunities for hands on work. Our engineers also have the chance to fully explore the liberal arts (something pretty unique to Union) and engineers are encouraged to take a minor outside of engineering. If you want to study abroad, Union is a perfect match as we send roughly 80% of our engineers abroad (which is much higher than most any other school you will find). Engineering makes up about 13% of the student body so Union definitely has a different feel than a strictly technical institution. </p>
<p>The job prospects are excellent because our engineers are also well-rounded liberal arts students. I am told we have essentially 100% job and grad school placement rate coming out of Union and Union recently ranked 13th in the country (and number 1 in New York State) in a July Businessweek study on undergraduate Return on Investment. I recommend visiting then engineering website at: [Engineering</a> Home](<a href=“http://www.union.edu/academic_depts/engineering/index.php]Engineering”>http://www.union.edu/academic_depts/engineering/index.php)</p>
<p>How is the financial aid for International students?</p>
