Academics

At Bucknell, we support our students as they explore their intellectual curiosity, and we empower them to become innovators in whatever field they choose.

It starts in the classroom, where our world-class professors personally guide discovery in small groups. But it doesn't end there.

We are a living-learning community where students explore the ideas and theories they're passionate about. This happens in laboratories, residence hall lounges, the local community and study-abroad programs around the world.

It's why our students graduate ready to make a difference and shape the world they live in.

    Writing Across the Curriculum

    Celebrating 40 Years

    At Bucknell, everyone writes — we write to learn, to create, to grow. Grounded in a 40-year history and among the first programs of its kind, Writing Across the Curriculum is an academic experience shared by students across Bucknell's three colleges.

    Our students experience the rich tradition of the liberal arts while engaging in the most current conversations alongside professors who are accomplished writers in their own fields. These experiences help students to learn and communicate effectively, empowering them to elevate their voice and effect change in the world.
