Global & Off-Campus Education
There’s no substitute for the experience of exploring new places, meeting new people and the learning that happens through those encounters.
At Bucknell, we give our students countless opportunities to learn about the world on and off campus with their own eyes and ears.
Through our "Bucknell In" programs, exchanges and more than 450 partner programs, students can travel and explore the world around them while keeping their graduation requirements on track.
