LOCATION

Union Graduate College is located on the campus of Union College in Schenectady, NY. As Union Graduate College contracts with Union College for a number of services, this catalog refers to some policies and offices that are part of Union College.

UNION UNIVERSITY

Union Graduate College is part of Union University, a federation of independent institutions. Other members are Union College, Albany Medical College, Albany Law School, Dudley Observatory, and Albany College of Pharmacy. Each has

its own governing board and is responsible for its own programs. There are several programs jointly offered by Union University Schools.

HISTORY OF UNION GRADUATE COLLEGE

Union Graduate College was formed in 2003 from the graduate programs of Union College. Bolstered by expanding enrollments in all graduate programs, and the growing regional demand for full- and part-time graduate study, a need for a new professional graduate college was recognized. At the same time, this move clarified and strengthened Union College’s reputation as a nationally-recognized leader in undergraduate liberal arts and engineering education.

Union Graduate College consists of three graduate schools and a center: the School of Management, the School of Education, the School of Engineering and Computer Science, and the Center for Bioethics and Clinical Leadership.

Union Graduate College is a part of Union University, a federation of independent undergraduate and graduate institutions, currently consisting of Union College, Albany Medical College, Albany Law School, Dudley Observatory and Albany College of Pharmacy. Established in 1873, the University has a board of governors made up of representatives of the member institutions’ boards of trustees. The president of Union College serves as the chancellor of Union University.

Union Graduate College believes in providing an educational environment characterized by high faculty-student interaction and small class size.

Union Graduate College values its Union College heritage and its rich and multi-varied connection to the liberal arts and sciences. In fact, it was founded on the premise that these connections will enrich professional graduate education. Local, national, and global markets are embedded in political, economic, and cultural systems. As Union Graduate College goes forward, it will build on its historical foundations.

THE GRADUATE PROGRAMS

Union Graduate College, through its graduate schools and center, offers the following graduate degrees: Master of Business Administration, Master of Science, and Master of Arts.

Master of Science degrees can be earned in secondary education, clinical leadership in health management, bioethics, computer science, electrical or mechanical engineering, and engineering and management systems. The Master of Arts is awarded in teaching. The Master of Business Administration program offers an MBA and an MBA in Healthcare Management.

Union Graduate College also offers several certificate programs (more information under “Certificate Programs”).

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS

Students may matriculate as either part-time or full-time students depending on their program (see the Admissions Information section of this catalog). Students are considered full-time if they are enrolled in two or more courses per term (fall, winter, and spring). Students must finish their degree requirements within six years of matriculating at Union Graduate College. A grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 is required to maintain good standing and to graduate.

MS Programs

A minimum of one academic year of course and thesis work is required for the Master of Science degree in most programs. This is equivalent to nine to twelve (depending on program) full courses, which may include a two-course thesis.

The Master of Science in Engineering and Management Systems requires eleven courses.

The Master of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science require between nine and ten courses.

The Master of Science for Teachers degree requires a minimum of eleven courses, including thesis work.

Bioethics degree candidates must pass a capstone course and complete a master’s project, which includes a presentation by the student. Twelve courses are required.

The Master of Science in Clinical Leadership requires twelve courses.

MAT Program

A minimum of one academic year of course and thesis work is required. This is equivalent to 16 courses.

MBA Program

The MBA degrees offered by the School of Management require the completion of twenty courses. Full-time students must complete an internship.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS

Center for Bioethics and Clinical Leadership

Coordinator of Certificate Programs, Ann Nolte 631-9860

The Center for Bioethics and Clinical Leadership offers two certificates: Bioethics with a Specialization in Clinical Ethics, and Bioethics with a Specialization in Health Policy & Law. These are four-course programs, and may be applied toward the MS in Bioethics. One grade of C+, C, or F in a bioethics certificate program will result in dismissal from the program.

School of Management

The School of Management offers four certificates: Financial Management (Advisor, Mel Chudzik); Healthcare Management (Advisor, John Huppertz); Human Resource Management (Advisor, Michele Paludi); Management and Leadership (Advisor, Michele Paludi). These are six-course programs, and may be applied toward an MBA. Two grades of C or C+ (or one grade of F) in a management certificate program will result in dismissal from the program.

JOINT DEGREE PROGRAMS

Five-year accelerated joint degree programs in conjunction with Union College lead to undergraduate degrees in various disciplines and graduate degrees in business, secondary education, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or computer science areas.

Union College undergraduate students who want to enter combined bachelor’s-master’s degree programs must apply for graduate admission to Union Graduate College no later than the end of the fall term of their senior year. A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 is required. Students are encouraged to apply as early as their sophomore year for the MBA and Engineering and Computer Science programs. The MAT program requires students to apply after the start of their eighth term and before the conclusion of their tenth term. Acceptance into a program may enable students to apply up to three 500-level graduate courses for credit in fulfillment of their undergraduate degree at Union College and their graduate degree at Union Graduate College, depending upon their program of study.

Union Graduate College also offers opportunities for joint degrees with SUNY Albany, and the following Union University institutions: Albany Medical College, Albany Law School, and Albany College of Pharmacy. For specific degrees/programs offered, see the “Degrees / Certificates Offered” Section.

ONLINE LEARNING

Union Graduate College strongly believes in the integration of online learning technology with traditional learning modalities. A number of our traditional classroom courses use online technology to supplement the classroom environment. Our MS in Bioethics is our first online degree program, and contains short on-campus components.

Union Graduate College uses the Blackboard Learning System, a Web-based server software platform that offers industry-leading course management, an open architecture for customization and interoperability, and a scalable design that allows for integration with student information systems and authentication protocols.

HMAC (CONSORTIUM) COURSES

As a member of the Hudson-Mohawk Association of Colleges and Universities, Union Graduate College participates in programs of cross-registration, permitting full-time students to take courses at other consortium colleges and universities. Consortium cross-registrations are subject to several conditions. In general, students are advised to confer with the instructor of the course proposed to be taken, but in any case they must fulfill the prerequisites set by the institution giving the course, including permission of the instructor if that is a normal condition for entering the course. Separate applications (obtainable from the registrar) must be completed for each course. When institutional calendars do not coincide, as will be the case in most instances, the individual student will be responsible for making the necessary accommodations, including food and lodging if the home institution is closed during the period of the course. Cross-registered students will be expected to abide by all regulations including attendance, parking, honor systems, and other provisions at the host institution.

Cross-registrations will be approved only for courses not offered at the home institution; in general, they will be limited to a maximum of half the normal course load. Furthermore, students must have their academic advisor’s permission in advance to cross-register for the course(s) in question. Cross-registration will be permitted only in courses that Union Graduate College normally would consider for transfer credit.

Through the consortium, Graduate College students may enroll in Reserve Officer Training Corps programs of the Navy and Air Force at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, and in the Army ROTC program at Siena College, Loudonville. ROTC courses do not carry credit toward graduation. Such ROTC students may be eligible for scholarships and other benefits available under two- and three-year programs of the Selective Services. Students interested should contact the respective branches of the ROTC.

UGC students who wish to take courses through HMAC should obtain a form in the UGC Registrar’s office. After the form is complete and approvals have been obtained, they register at the other school. Students pay at their home schools. When the course is complete a transcript will be sent to UGC and the grade and course will be applied to the UGC transcript.

Consortium members (in addition to Union Graduate College) are Union College, Siena, Adirondack Community College, Albany College of Pharmacy, Albany Law School, Albany Medical College, The College of Saint Rose, Columbia-Greene Community College, Empire State College, Fulton-Montgomery Community College, Hartwick College, Hudson Valley Community College, Junior College of Albany, Maria College, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Russell Sage College, Schenectady County Community College, Skidmore College, the State University of New York at Albany, and the State University of New York College at Cobleskill.

CHARTER AND ACCREDITATION

Union Graduate College is chartered by the New York State Board of Regents and was accredited by the Regents in September 2004.

The MBA program is accredited by AACSB-International (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), the world’s leading business school accrediting body. Union Graduate College’s program is unique in being the smallest of all AACSB accredited business programs and one of only 28 accredited programs—along with such institutions as Harvard University, Stanford University, and Dartmouth College—that focus solely on graduate degrees. Less than 30 percent of all business programs are accredited nationwide. The Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME - formerly ACEHSA) and AACSB-International dually accredits the Healthcare Management program.

The MAT is accredited by The Teacher Education Accreditation Council. It was the first New York State education program to be accredited by TEAC.

THE ACADEMIC CALENDAR AND COURSE LOAD

Union Graduate College has adopted the Union College trimester system approved by the New York State Department of Education in 1966. It divides the nine-month academic year into three terms of ten weeks each. There are also two summer sessions of five weeks each for the MBA programs and one eight to ten week session for other programs. The Academic year starts with the beginning of the summer sessions and concludes with the spring semester. Under this system each course equates to 3 1/3 semester hours.

Full-time course load is two courses per term, or six courses during fall, winter and spring terms. A typical trimester course load is three courses per term during fall, winter and spring terms.

OFFICE OF GRADUATE ADMISSIONS AND REGISTRAR

Rhonda Sheehan, Director (518) 631-9900

The Office of Graduate Admissions and Registrar handles all matters dealing with admissions, registration, class schedules, grades, academic records, graduation, international student services, veterans affairs, and certification of attendance or eligibility in such areas as veterans’ benefits, government loan deferment, insurance, and other policy issues.

THE OLIN BUILDING

The $9 million Olin Building introduced two new high-technology classroom formats to Union Graduate College. The first is a Collaborative Computer Classroom. These rooms contain all the electronic presentation tools available in the Electronic Presentation Classroom. The lectern, however, contains only a single computer type (Windows or Mac). These rooms contain eight to twelve desktop computers for shared use by up to 36 students. Depending upon class size, no more than four students collaborate on a single computer. All computers are linked to a high-quality, high-volume laser printer in each classroom. These classrooms are ideally suited for demonstrations of course and/or management software and group-oriented problem solving. Four such classrooms with Windows PCs and one classroom with Macintosh computers are available to Union Graduate College.

The Olin Building also houses a Computer Lab classroom. This facility is similar to the Collaborative Classrooms, but is larger in size and allows up to 40 students per class. It

currently contains 25 PCs. This room is ideally suited for language-based instruction and can also be used to teach simulation and other computer-intensive subjects.

Although Olin classrooms and electronic classrooms elsewhere on campus are in heavy demand during the day, Union Graduate College’s evening program schedule means the Institution has no trouble using desired rooms. All Graduate College faculty have file storage space on a Windows-2000 server. There is also a course area in which to post files for student access.

NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE

Union Graduate College’s main network connects all computers located in offices, labs, and student residence halls. The network uses fiber optic cables between buildings and

intelligent hubs (with 10BaseT/100BaseT technology) within buildings. Each workstation (Windows, Mac, or Unix) is a 10BaseT or 100BaseT node on the network. The network has been very reliable and responsive.

Union Graduate College has also established a wireless network in Lamont House. Access to this wireless network is available in Schaffer Library, the Nott Memorial, the Olin Center High-Tech Learning Center, all Olin Center electronic classrooms, the Schaffer Library Plaza, and several other study space locations on campus.

INTERNET

Currently, Union Graduate College has one OC3 line with a dedicated 20 Mbps of Internet access. Since the OC3 line is capable of up to 155 Mbps, there is plenty of room for future growth. Internet use has grown substantially for student and faculty research purposes. However, available capacity is more than adequate to meet institutional needs.

COMPUTING FACILITIES

Non-workstation computing is conducted on idol and dutch. Both are DEC Alpha Servers 2100 4/275 running Compaq TruUNIX64.

CAMPUS PARKING POLICY AND TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

The parking policy and traffic regulations apply to anyone who has a car on campus. This includes students, faculty, staff and visitors. The number of parking spaces on the campus is not sufficient to accommodate a vehicle for every student and employee (while there are generally enough parking spaces to accommodate the number of registered cars at any given time, it is not possible for everyone to park right next to the place where he/she works or attends classes.) This policy is designed to manage the available spaces as well as to maintain open areas for traffic flow and safety purposes.

All roadways on campus are considered fire lanes to ensure that emergency vehicles have access to all buildings and residence halls. No parking is allowed in fire lanes. The campus speed limit is 15 miles per hour on all campus roadways and in parking lots. Violators will be ticketed. Reckless driving or driving under the influence will most likely result in immediate suspension of privileges pending the adjudication of Conduct Charges. For a complete list of regulations governing parking and driving on campus, including possible sanctions for violations, you may consult the Campus Safety Website: http://www.union.edu/PUBLIC/SAFETY/PoliciesAndRegulations.html or go to the Campus Safety Office for a hard copy, which you will receive when you register your vehicle.

VEHICLE REGISTRATION

All vehicles on campus must be registered annually. However, because of the limited number of spaces, registration does not guarantee a parking space. In order to register your vehicle you must take proof of registration, your driver’s license, and your ID card along with $15 (check or cash), to Campus Safety. Temporary registration can be obtained for visitors and members of the community who will have a car on campus for less than two weeks. The cost is $3. Failure to register your vehicle will result in tickets and fines.
