I dual-enrolled at USC-Union my junior and senior year in high school. I accumulated many credit hours before I even attended a four year college. During those years, USC-Union was the ideal place to finish my high school education because it was a local school and my tuition was paid for with lottery money. At USC-Union, tuition is completely covered for first year college students. During my brief time at USC-Union I witnessed many improvements to the school. Landscaping was done, dorms were built, sports teams added, buildings renovated, student centers created, more professors hired, more clubs and organizations set in place, and more degrees added! congratulations USC-Union for building success from the ground up!

I love being here. It’s a small campus with small classrooms where you get one on one interaction with the teachers. For me that is the best way I can learn. People on campus are really friendly and always supportive. They also try and encourage others to join groups, make new friends, do something outside of what your norm is. So that’s what makes USC Union perfect for me.

Attending USC Union will provide you with an associates degree and help to get you a step closer to your career path. USC Union is a great environment to get the feel of college while still being at home.
