Who We Are
We're a life-changing university in central Pennsylvania where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other through the intersection of our three nationally recognized colleges: Arts & Sciences, Engineering and the Freeman College of Management.
Our alumni include an English major who's a top stem-cell researcher and an engineering major who has won two Academy Awards for visual effects.
Since 1846, Bucknell University has pushed the boundaries of undergraduate education and actively shaped the world outside Lewisburg. It's a tradition that continues today, with our distinct mix of liberal arts and professional programs giving students almost unlimited options to pursue their intellectual interests and passions.
We're also proud that we've fostered a diverse, inclusive, supportive academic community throughout our history. From the opening of our Female Institute in 1852 to our first international student's graduation in 1864 to our first African American student's graduation in 1875, we've been opening doors to education from our earliest days.
Today, Bucknell has more than 50,000 living alumni who form a close network of loyal Bucknellians around the world. Their successful lives and personal achievements are a testament to the vision and perspicacity of the University's founders, who were dedicated to the pursuit of excellence.
As President David Jayne Hill observed in 1879, "For myself, I make no promises. I only hope that the University may crown a useful past with a glorious future, and that it may be a spot hallowed by your best wishes and your prayers."
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Providing an excellent education to all students requires a firm and demonstrated commitment to diversity and inclusiveness at all levels of the institution.
Inside the classroom and beyond, we strive to foster an environment in which our students engage with, understand and appreciate perspectives, people and cultures that may be very different from their own.
These experiences position students to enrich their knowledge of self and others, examine their values, and develop skills in critical thinking and collaboration — all of which prepare students to make valuable contributions in a diverse, globally integrated world.
Sustainability
At Bucknell, sustainability isn't just something we study — although we are advancing our understanding of sustainability in disciplines from civil engineering to finance to philosophy. It's something we do.
Sustainability at Bucknell encompasses both principles and practices, at scales from local to global, that protect, maintain and increase the long-term viability and resilience of our environmental, social and economic support systems, so that we can create a more just, equitable and abundant future.
This definition informs our journey roadmap as a local-to-global sustainability living-learning community in academic majors, research, initiatives, organizations and external outreach. Sustainability involves every Bucknellian — from students, faculty and staff to the Board of Trustees, parents and alumni.
Through it all, we strive for a brighter future for our University, our region and the world.
