What the data says about Union College

Comparative observations derived from this school's reported CDS values and from IPEDS / College Scorecard reference data. Every claim is grounded in a number — no editorial overlay.

01

Six-year graduation rate exceeds the national median by 27 percentage points.

Union College's 83.0% six-year graduation rate exceeds the national 4-year-institution median of 56.3% (per IPEDS, n=1555) by 26.7 pp.

02

Cross-admit cohort spans an unusually wide selectivity range.

The schools Union College applicants most commonly also apply to range from 13.6% admit to 41.5% admit — a 27.9 pp band. A reasonable read: applicants choose by region or program fit rather than selectivity tier alone.

Methodology

The Common Data Set is a standardized reporting form U.S. colleges file annually — sections A through J covering admissions selectivity, enrollment, aid, faculty resources, and outcomes. CollegeNumbers extracts every value directly from each school's officially published CDS PDF, xlsx, docx, or HTML, then normalizes into a unified schema.

Federal data layers — College Scorecard, EADA athletics, Clery campus safety, FSA financial responsibility — are joined on top. Every value traces back to its primary source. All covered schools →
