Organization

The constituent schools of Union Graduate College included the School of Management, the School of Education, the School of Engineering, the Institute for a Sustainable Environment and the Bioethics Program.

History

The history of Union Graduate College begins in the early 1900s. Advanced degree study was being conducted at Union College in several disciplines.

The master's degree in electrical engineering was available as early as 1905 and was the first graduate degree awarded by Union to a woman, when Florence Buckland received her a master's degree in electrical engineering in 1925.

The Union Graduate College School of Management began in the economics department of Union College. In May 1961, the Union Board of Trustees approved a master's program in industrial administration. The first three degrees in industrial administration were awarded in 1964.

Although advanced degrees in education had been available at Union earlier in the 1900s, a team of academic and administrative faculty was formed in 1986 to investigate the possibility of creating an innovative, high-quality teacher education program. They developed Union Graduate College's Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program in discipline areas that dove-tailed with the College's academic strengths: biology, chemistry, earth science (geology), French, German, Greek, Latin, mathematics, physics, social studies, and Spanish. The first class of 15 MAT students graduated in 1990.

Union College continued to expand its graduate degree study offerings with new master's programs in management, healthcare management, engineering, education and bioethics, developing innovative programs through strategic relationships with other highly respected Upstate New York education institutions such as Albany Law School, Albany College of Pharmacy and Albany Medical College. Union College established what was then known as the “Center for Graduate from Education and Special Programs” to administer these advanced degree programs.

By 2000, bolstered by expanding enrollments in all graduate programs and the growing regional demand for full-time and part-time graduate study, Union recognized the need to create a new, independent, professional graduate college. The Graduate College of Union University was formed and chartered by the State Board of Regents as an independent college in July 2003. The school's name was changed to Union Graduate College in May 2006, a name that better reflected its Union College heritage.

In 2015, the New York State Education Department Board of Regents and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, approved the acquisition of Union Graduate College by Clarkson University. The merger became official on February 1, 2016, with Union Graduate College becoming the Clarkson University Capital Region Campus in Schenectady, N.Y. The merger was relatively unique in higher education, as both schools were in a sound fiscal position, both meeting and exceeding current enrollment targets, and both in good standing with their accrediting agencies.

Clarkson University Capital Region Campus

As the Clarkson University Capital Region Campus, it serves as a recruiting hub for graduate and professional degree program admissions at all the institution's operations in New York State and online.[1]

Clarkson's graduate student recruitment and admissions for master's programs are based at the Capital Region Campus, which today supports a growing list of graduate education opportunities throughout the state, including Clarkson's Beacon Institute for Rivers & Estuaries in Beacon, N.Y., and a partnership with the Trudeau Institute in Saranac Lake, N.Y.[1]

In late 2023, Clarkson considered ending the programs in teacher education at the Clarkson University Capital Region Campus .[1] Instead, in March 2024, Clarkson sold the programs to Siena College.[2][3]
