International Programs

Union Where You Are

We know students and families have questions about the implications of COVID-19 on study abroad programs. We have compiled frequently asked questions here. In the meantime, for questions not addressed here, please feel free to contact the International Programs office by emailing intlprograms@union.edu or calling us on (518) 388-6002.

Our International Programs Office is a hub for learning about Union's diverse study abroad opportunities. Throughout the year, we offer information sessions on how to plan and prepare for overseas studies. Your major adviser and other professors can also offer advice about studying abroad, and students share their abroad experiences at regular meetings and lunchtime talks. We also provide information and resources for international exchange students whom we welcome into our community.
