Now in its 40th year, Bucknell’s Writing Program spans the entire curriculum across all three colleges. Students have diverse opportunities to complete the writing requirement, developing skills to write in appropriate genres and situations and using writing as a means for creating and processing knowledge. As a central part of a liberal arts education, the Writing Program recognizes students' rich individualities while they discover, organize and communicate their knowledge across disciplines and majors. This approach equips students with nuanced analytical abilities and rhetorical flexibility — strengths that are essential in all spheres of life.
