Can I double-major in an arts-area (studio art, art history, theatre, creative writing, etc.) and another discipline?
Yes. Within the liberal arts context at Bucknell, students may combine any Bachelor of Arts degree with any additional Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science path (except for neuroscience and biochemistry) and still graduate in four years. Roughly one third of our seniors graduate with a double major. Students who apply to the Bachelor of Arts in Music or the Bachelor of Music (in performance, education, composition, or history and literature) programs, and who are interested in pursuing a double major in another discipline, should speak to music faculty in person at the time of their auditions to discuss the possibilities available to them. All music major candidates are required to list either the BA or BMUS as their intended major on the application. We offer as well a five-year, dual-degree program in engineering and any Bachelor of Arts major; each year we see a handful of students pair engineering with the Bachelor of Arts in music, as one example. Students may apply directly to
