- Challenge yourself by taking upper-level classes in areas that interest you.
- Be authentic — both in your application materials and in the passions you pursue. Don’t join a club because you think it’ll look good; do it because it’s what you love.
- Focus on experiences you enjoy — not on the job you think you want or the path you believe is required to get there. At Bucknell, our advisers will help you discover a career that never feels like a job.
- Get involved, both in school and out.
- Be open to new interests and opportunities.
- Review the list of required high school courses. All Bucknell applicants must complete at least two years of a foreign language in high school (the same language both years). Some majors have other requirements, so review the list at bucknell.edu/apply.

Griffin Perrault ’22 believes there’s a better world within reach, and the history and economics double-major from Harwinton, Conn., wants to help us move toward it.
He plans to become a human rights lawyer, using his skills in Spanish and Arabic to help immigrants navigate the American legal system.
“That’s why I went to college,” he says, “because I wanted to somehow make a positive impact on the world.”
Griffin is on the mock trial team, writes opinion pieces for The Bucknellian student newspaper and organizes rallies to draw attention to issues he’s passionate about.
“The relatively small population here makes it very easy to assemble a group of people to do something,” he says. “It really emphasizes the power of the individual to take control of their own learning.”
