Two first-year students kneel by large block letters outdoors, petting a bulldog lying on the ground. One student wears a gray UNION sweatshirt and holds books, while the other student holds notebooks and looks down.
A group of people play a ball game within a blue metal structure on a grassy field. More people stand nearby. A brick clock tower and a domed building are visible in the background under a clear sky.
A brown and white bulldog sits on a sidewalk in front of a circular flower bed, with a large bulldog statue on a brick pedestal in the background. Trees and part of a building are visible further behind.

About Test Scores

Â鶹ÊÓƵ superscores the ACT, SAT, and CLT — we'll consider your highest section scores across test dates. The ACT Science section is never required, and submitting it can only help, never hurt. Â鶹ÊÓƵ also offers a test-optional path for a limited portion of each entering class; students admitted test-optional participate in the Keystone Program.
