The Summer School serves both undergraduate and graduate students who choose to take summer courses in order to enrich their educational experience or to accelerate their degree progress at Bucknell or elsewhere. Bucknell s Summer School offers courses across the curriculum. Students who are working toward degrees or certification are advised to consult with their advisers to determine which summer courses most appropriately meet their needs. Students are also encouraged to explore new interests, to develop skills and areas of expertise which will serve them well in any career path or interest pursuit. One of Bucknell s goals is to provide the means for fostering the growth of each individual s talents and the development of a lifelong commitment to learning.
Courses are available at introductory and advanced levels.
Many departments will arrange independent study courses whether or not such courses are listed in this website. Students with specific needs for work in engineering during the summer should consult with their advisers or the chairpersons of the appropriate departments. Arrangements for such courses must be made and preregistration completed before May 1 in order to assure that a faculty member willing to direct the student s study will be available during the summer. If such arrangements involve academic credit and faculty evaluation, tuition is charged. Students start the course approval process by first securing a copy of the policy statement and appropriate application form from the Office of the Dean.
