Bucknell University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Bucknell University is a U.S. undergraduate institution that offers bachelorโ€™s study across arts, sciences, management, and engineering. It suits students who want a broad liberal-arts-style choice of majors within a single-campus university setting in Pennsylvania.

  2. What you can study

    You can study at bachelorโ€™s level in subjects including Computer Science, Mathematics, Accounting, Advertising Design, Art - General Studio, Art History, Biology, and Business Administration. The university says it offers 65 majors and 70 minors across the sciences and humanities, and its academic structure includes the College of Arts and Sciences, the Freeman College of Management, and the College of Engineering.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply for undergraduate admission and check the official website for the current requirements, deadlines, and document list. The university does not publish country-specific application steps in the information available, so confirm entry requirements, transcript rules, and any English-language requirement directly with admissions.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. You should also check estimated living costs in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, separately, since housing, food, transport, and personal expenses can change your total budget.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not stated in the available information, so confirm it before applying. If you are moving from abroad, check visa documents, the admissions timeline, proof-of-funds requirements, housing options, and whether your chosen bachelorโ€™s programme has any extra entry conditions.

  6. How it compares

    Among 2,515 universities in the United States, Bucknell stands out as a single-campus undergraduate institution with a defined mix of arts, management, and engineering study rather than a large graduate-heavy profile. Its size is suggested by the published 65 majors and 70 minors, which gives more choice than a narrowly focused college while still keeping the academic offer centered on bachelorโ€™s study.
