Although Union College is nestled in the Southern Highlands of Appalachia in Barbourville, Kentucky, its distance learning program allows the College to reach students all over the country.

With non-traditional student enrollment increasing, Union College meets its students' needs for convenience and flexibility through distance education. Students can pursue their Master's degrees and even engage in a five year program to attain a combined Bachelor's and Master's degree in Psychology. In addition, the Department of Graduate Studies at Union College offers three completely online non-certification general Rank 1 programs in Curriculum and Instruction, Education Leadership and Special Education.
