Academically, Bucknell is unique. With 3,400 students and a student-faculty ratio of 11-to-1, Bucknell combines the personal feel and attention of a small college, but has the academic and athletic resources of a large university. In addition to a broad liberal arts college curriculum with 50 majors and 60 minors, we also offer strong professional programs in engineering, business, education, and music performance. To top it off, Bucknell has one of the safest and most beautiful campuses in the country. Athletically, our women's rowing program provides one of the most balanced and exciting opportunities available in college athletics. We do quite a bit of sculling during the fall season and our fall schedule is unique in regards to its flexibility, designed to encourage a balanced lifestyle uncommon in Division I athletics. In the classroom, our team is always top 2 out of 27 varsity programs in the Bucknell Athletics Department for the highest GPA. Our first year rowers and coxswains have recently achieved a GPA of 3.67 putting them ahead of almost any group of freshman athletes in the country. Our racing schedule includes top ten ranked programs such as UVA, Princeton, Harvard, Ohio, and Michigan. We are the four-time Patriot League Champions, two-time ECAC Metro Champions and in 2007 our lightweights were the IRA National Champions! Last year we raced at the Eastern Sprints against the Ivies and the rest of the best competition on the East Coast, finishing 8th ahead of Cornell, Syracuse, Northeastern, Navy, and Columbia. We compete every four years in the Royal Henley Regatta and Bucknell alumni rowers have also gone on to compete at the World Championships and the Olympics. We have a very ambitious program, but we always keep things in perspective. Academics will always be your top priority, you can go abroad in your junior year, and you will have a whole lot of fun as a member of one the most dynamic rowing programs in the country.
Come visit our beautiful campus. We look forward to meeting you.
