Union Adventist University (formerly Union College) is a private, nonprofit liberal arts university founded in 1891 and affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Located in Lincoln, Nebraska — the capital city and a thriving regional hub — Union Adventist serves approximately 730 students through programs in education, nursing, business, ministry, engineering technology, music, and the liberal arts. Ranked #25 among Regional Colleges Midwest and among the top five institutions nationally for Social Mobility by U.S. News & World Report, Union Adventist is recognized for its commitment to accessible, faith-integrated education and its remarkable record of helping students from diverse economic backgrounds achieve professional success. The university's small-college environment provides intimate class sizes, attentive faculty mentoring, and a close-knit campus community shaped by the Adventist tradition of whole-person development — intellectual, physical, and spiritual. UAU's health science and nursing programs reflect the Seventh-day Adventist Church's historic commitment to medicine, wellness, and community health. The university's Warriors compete in basketball, volleyball, soccer, golf, and other sports through the Association of Christian College Athletics. Situated near the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Union Adventist draws students from across the United States and around the world who seek a rigorous academic environment grounded in Christian values and a mission of service.
