Graduate Studies

Bucknell University is committed to supporting a focused and robust Graduate Studies Program within a diverse range of areas of study, in order to

1. offer prospective students a select array of distinctive, high quality graduate credentials
2. directly support faculty scholarship and teaching, and

In all of Bucknell's graduate programs, students work closely with faculty toward common academic and research goals substantially beyond those available to undergraduates. The individual departmental missions share an overarching goal: a deepening of the student's knowledge and experience base in the discipline by building on the increased commitment that graduate students bring to their work. Each departmental program provides students with the education necessary for them to advance to the next level of their academic or professional career path.
