Bucknell Global Education
There’s no substitute for the experience of exploring new places, meeting new people and the learning that happens through those encounters.
At Bucknell, we give our students countless opportunities to learn about the world on and off campus with their own eyes and ears. Options include:
- Faculty-led, Bucknell-guided experiences lasting from one week to a full year
- Global internships
- International research experiences
Through our "Bucknell In" programs and more than 450 partner programs, students can travel and explore the world around them while keeping their graduation requirements on track.
Advising Periods
Students interested in studying abroad will need to meet with their study abroad adviser during the advising period for their term abroad in order to begin a study abroad application.
The advising periods are as follows:
Fall Advising Period
First day of classes through the last day of classes (August–December) the year before your study abroad semester.
Spring Advising Period
First day of classes through the last day of classes (January–May) the year before your study abroad semester.
Summer Advising Period
August–April. This advising period is only for non-Bucknell summer programs. Students applying to faculty-led summer programs will maintain individual advising and application periods. Check the specific program webpage for additional details.
