How do I decide where to go?

The Office of International Education offers programs in over 50 countries through our third party providers as well as various Bucknell-in programs which allow students to study overseas with Bucknell University faculty.

Students interested in studying off-campus should look at our Approved Programs list to see which program fits their various academic needs.
