Globally Engaged Bucknell
An increasingly globalized world requires industry leaders who value and work across national, cultural and linguistic differences.
That's why we provide Bucknell students with myriad ways to develop and enhance intercultural literacy. This goes beyond incorporating international perspectives in classroom study. We make it possible for our students to experience their disciplines in diverse contexts and form enriching relationships through study abroad programs, language immersion, arts and performance, and beyond.

International Student & Scholar Services
We're committed to fostering an environment in which our students engage with, understand and appreciate individuals of all cultures and backgrounds. Bucknell's International Student & Scholar Services office provides support services and programs to meet the unique needs of international students and faculty, as well as opportunities for leadership development and cultural exploration.
The Global Connections, Cultures & Community (GC3) Pre-Orientation program really helped me get oriented in this brand new place and made it easy to build a support system right away. It's definitely one of the biggest highlights of my time at Bucknell.
