Time magazine lists Union as one of the top five
private universities in Tennessee

Jackson, Tenn. - Time Magazine, in conjunction with The Princeton Review, listed ºÚÁÏÂÛ̳ as one of the top five private universities in the state of Tennessee in its annual college guide, "The Best College For You." The publication went on sale in bookstores this week.

Union was given a high selectivity rating for its academic and admissions competitiveness. The only other four schools in Tennessee to receive a comparable rating are Vanderbilt University, the University of the South, Rhodes College and Lee University.

Union was also included in the guide's Time 500 - a category reserved for the top 20 percent of higher education institutions in the country. Union was the only West Tennessee college to be included in the Time 500.

"The inclusion in the Time 500 is another recognition of the commitment to academic excellence at Union. For Union to be included with the premier schools in the country is a high honor indeed," Union President David S. Dockery says.
