- Atlantic Union College had its beginnings as South Lancaster Academy, a secondary school begun in 1882. The school very early in its existence felt the need for work to be offered beyond the secondary level. It became Lancaster Junior College in 1918 and Atlantic Union College in 1922. Its early degrees were B.Th. and B.R.E. degrees, but in 1933 the college was authorized to grant the B.A. degree and in 1954 the B.S. degree.
- As a liberal arts institution offering some professional and pre-professional programs, the College aims to offer to all its students an academic environment in which attitudes, values, and goals can be examined in the light of expanded knowledge and understanding. The emphasis on the campus is on a personal relationship between faculty and students. Working together, faculty and students create an atmosphere within which a community of scholars may discover, organize, and disseminate knowledge and apply value judgments to human thought and activity. By encouraging students to work while they learn, the College is committed to the concept that work is the active expression of knowledge.
- AAtlantic Union College is located on a 135-acre campus spread over the quiet tree-lined streets and rolling New England countryside of the rural township of Lancaster in Central Massachusetts, 49 miles west of Boston and 190 miles northeast of New York City.
