A New Standard for Career Development at Bucknell

For two consecutive years, Bucknell University has been named America's best liberal arts university for long-term career success by LinkedIn. Now, we've set the bar higher, not only because the future demands it, but because our students deserve it. We believe that every student who graduates from Bucknell should have a successful outcome waiting for them, whether their next step is a career, graduate school or civic service. 

That’s why we're investing in programs that leverage our strengths and propel us into new and innovative areas. Our students deserve nothing less. 

At Bucknell, proactive career support begins before students even enter the classroom. Career outreach leading up to and during Orientation establishes from the start that career preparation will be part of the Bucknell journey at every step, inside and outside the classroom. 

The Center for Career Advancement and Bucknell's engaged alumni network work together to ensure that students have every opportunity to explore their future through on-the-job immersion. Programs such as the David R. Hamill '81 Washington, D.C., Experience help guarantee that every student who earns an internship has the means to participate.

Career development at Bucknell is a five-year journey. It begins before Orientation and continues with enhanced, one-to-one advising through senior year and beyond — for as long as it takes. Alumni Career Services ensure that graduates remain prepared for their next step throughout their lives.
