Build Your Bucknell

At Bucknell, we don't take a one-size-fits-all approach to education. The same is true of our visit experiences. Instead of only offering a single day or two of Admissions events, we give you a month and a half of informative virtual sessions from which to choose.

Our Build Your Bucknell program runs each fall. Choose from a menu of opportunities, including virtual tours and info sessions as well as live events where you'll chat with faculty, staff and current students. We give you the freedom to craft the perfect way to get to know Bucknell on your terms.
