For Faculty & Academic Advisers
As students begin to research and apply for study abroad, academic advisers and faculty members play a pivotal role in the approval process. Students applying to study abroad must complete:
- An adviser approval form confirming the student can complete their major course of study.
- A faculty recommendation supporting their application for study abroad.
Academic Advisers
Academic advisers help students choose the right Global Education program for their major(s), academic interests and goals. Early in the application process, students are required to meet with their academic adviser to discuss academic progress and how study abroad will complement their Bucknell University experience. This initial meeting allows the academic adviser to counsel the advisee regarding program selection and to communicate any concerns with respect to fulfilling major requirements.
Adviser Approval Forms and Faculty Recommendations
Every student applying to study abroad for a semester or full-year program will be required to request an Adviser Approval Form and Faculty Recommendation Form to complete their Bucknell Global Education Application.
Students are instructed to meet with their academic adviser(s) and faculty recommender prior to submitting their Bucknell Global Education Application, to complete the Adviser Approval or Faculty Recommendation on their behalf. Students will submit their requests via the Bucknell Global Education's application system. These requests will be sent via email to the requested faculty member. The email will include a direct link to the requested form, as well as the student name, request type and program name.
