The Writing Program. Bucknell helps students develop strong writing skills through an introductory and two other writing courses.
Students select the courses from many departments and programs.
Bucknell gives students diverse opportunities during their four years to engage in undergraduate research or independent study with a faculty member. The Interdepartmental Major and College Major programs permit you to design your own major, assisted by a faculty committee, which also supervises your senior project. Bucknell can serve as your departure point for study throughout the world. Nearly 40 percent of our students opt for a semester or a year abroad. University Scholars Program begins with the Humanities Residential College and continues through the senior year, when students undertake either an honors thesis or senior project in their major.
