Summer Session

Students on campus

Your curiosity doesn't stop in the summer.

Bucknell offers a variety of instructional programs during the summer, including a six-week Summer Session offering full-credit Bucknell courses, independent study experiences, off-campus study and programs in professional education. Summer Session includes courses appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate students. 

During Summer Session, you can: 

  • Take classes in the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Engineering.
  • Take part in the Summer Management Institute offered by the Freeman College of Management (for arts & sciences and engineering students only).
  • Engage in one of the credit-bearing independent study experiences offered by many academic departments. Contact your department for details.

Summer Session courses are open to current Bucknell students, students of other schools and adults seeking continuing education, subject to approval. Registration for summer classes may require approval from the course instructor.
