The College of Arts & Sciences is one of the largest and most diverse among the highly-ranked national liberal arts colleges. It forms the core of Bucknell's liberal arts curriculum, covering the arts and humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and mathematics. It provides a robust liberal arts foundation, offering both broad learning and deep specialisation, benefiting the 66% of Bucknell students who major in these disciplines.

With nearly 50 majors and 70 minors, students can mix their interests and create their personalised paths to success. They can study everything from astronomy, art history and neuroscience to economics, East Asian studies, or music — with many students opting to double-major. Regardless of their chosen programme, students will benefit from passionate professors ready to help them dive deep into their studies and make exciting intellectual connections.

Bucknell's nationally recognized College of Engineering trains students to invent a brighter future. From their first day on campus, students are considered more than learners — they're active engineers, encouraged to pose big questions and seek impactful solutions. The college's hands-on education begins with the signature Engineering 100 course and moves on to real-world projects with companies, government organizations, and nonprofit partners.

Bucknell offers eight undergraduate engineering programmes and a range of graduate and five-year dual degree options. These programmes are housed within six engineering departments: Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.

As a member of the American Society of Engineering Education's Engineering Deans Diversity Initiative, Bucknell is committed to increasing opportunities for women and other underrepresented groups in the industry. The University has one of the highest percentages of female engineering majors nationwide, reflecting its dedication to diversity, equity and inclusion.

The Kenneth W. Freeman College of Management offers a transformative educational experience for future business leaders, rooted in liberal arts principles. Home to nearly 600 students and over 40 faculty and staff, the college emphasises small class sizes and enduring connections within the University's network of 56,000 alumni.

Bucknell's management education extends beyond traditional classroom settings. Students can engage in real-world learning by visiting the New York Stock Exchange, exploring Silicon Valley's tech firms, starting their own businesses with seed funding from Bucknell, or managing a significant portion of the University's endowment. Annual speaker series and networking events, mentorship programs and an internship-focused study abroad experience give students abundant opportunities to connect with leaders across industries and around the world.

These experiences are accessible in each of the college's five majors: Accounting, Business Analytics, Finance, Management & Organizations, and Markets, Innovation & Design. The college also offers a range of niche minors, such as real estate and entrepreneurship, that are open to students across the University.
