Admissions

Bucknell in Barbados

BIB is open to all Bucknell juniors and, in exceptional circumstances, sophomores in good academic standing. Letters of recommendation must give evidence that the student possesses the maturity, integrity, independence and curiosity necessary for study abroad. A history of good conduct and citizenship is also required.

Application forms are available in the Office of International Education, 105 Taylor Hall, and must be completed and returned to that Office no later than September 18, 2008. After their applications have been approved by Bucknell, students must fill out a visiting-student application form for UWI. The form for UWI will be distributed to approved candidates by the Office of International Education.

Admission to the program rests ultimately with UWI. Late applications may be accepted on a case-by-case basis pending availability of space. Since we expect full enrollment, and since the application process for UWI is more protracted than that for other Bucknell study-abroad programs, students are encouraged to apply early.
