Majors & Minors
At Bucknell, you can choose from a much larger selection of majors, minors and courses than other liberal arts colleges and universities. But you won't be limited to just one path.
You can major in English and go to medical school, major in anthropology and become a filmmaker, or major in engineering and become a manager. That's the beauty of a liberal arts mission that empowers personalized education.
It all starts here, with a few simple clicks. Select the categories that align most closely with your interests and the type of program you want to explore — and discover what's possible. You can also explore the full list of majors and minors on the bottom of this page.
