LMU’s DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine now allows qualified Union students a guaranteed interview in connection with possible admission to the program. The agreement is available for an unlimited number of students and is in effect until October 31, 2027.

All three campuses of LMU’s Physician Assistant Program are partnering with Union, too. The campuses are located in Harrogate, TN; Knoxville, TN; and Tampa, FL. The Harrogate and Tampa campuses offer up to three seats to qualified Union students to earn a Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies. The Knoxville campus offers a guaranteed interview for any qualified applicant. 

Gaynor says, “The agreements with LMU provide the students with a sense of relief, knowing that if they meet all the prerequisites, they will have this opportunity.”

Union has also worked with UK’s Engineering Department to develop transfer pathways for Union students interested in any of the ten engineering fields offered at UK. Union’s Associate of Applied Science – Pre-Engineering degree (67-68 hours) covers many of the prerequisite courses for the different engineering pathways.

“Many engineering programs appreciate the skills students develop through studying liberal arts, such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, and problem-solving, all of which are relevant to engineering,” Gaynor explains.
