President's Welcome

Welcome to Bucknell's website, where you'll learn about the special experiences our students enjoy and our alumni remember. We take pride in our exceptional faculty and staff who make this experience possible and in our bright and talented students who benefit from and add to the dynamic education programs we offer.

Bucknell University is one of the top liberal arts institutions in the nation, but beyond our broad liberal arts college curriculum we also offer strong professional programs in engineering, business, education, and music performance. With our ideal size of 3,400 undergraduates and 150 graduate students, we are one of the few institutions in the nation that successfully combines the personal direction of a small college with the academic resources of a large university.

Whatever your interest in Bucknell, we invite you to explore these pages and learn about the exciting people and programs who make up our university. And then we encourage you to visit our campus and discover for yourself why we think Bucknell is so special. Welcome!

Brian C. Mitchell
President
