UNDERGRADUATE Course Unions
Course unions are networks of enthusiastic students. The purpose of a course union is to enhance the ability of students to discover, pursue, and share their passions in a particular academic field. Though each course union is unique, they are all committed to fostering a great academic experience through member engagement, events, advocacy, and increasing access to resources.
