School Overview:

School Notes:

• 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.
• The Degrees we offered are MBA, BA, BM, BS, AA, AAS, and AS having a Student/Faculty Ratio of 12:1. We have also Special Programs: Adult Evening Program, External Degree Program, Study Abroad.
• Columbia Union College is approximately seven miles north of the heart of Washington, D.C., and is located at the intersection of Carroll and Flower avenues (see street map) in Takoma Park, Maryland. CUC is located one mile from the Takoma Park Metro stop on the Red Line. CUC occupies 19 acres in Takoma Park, Maryland, near the nation's capital. Its world-class metropolitan setting affords unrivaled opportunity for learning, work, recreation, and service.
