Academics

Bucknell University students lead exciting and invigorating academic lives. Some participate in groundbreaking research, while others triumph on stage or in the studio. Caring faculty members are both teachers and mentors for these students in and out of the classroom. At the same time, they are also scholars who conduct research, publish widely, receive media coverage and receive grants from national organizations for their work.
