The mission of the computer science department at Bucknell University is to provide degree programs and courses consistent with the missions of the University, the College of Arts & Sciences, and the College of Engineering, which meet the full range of needs of the talented, primarily undergraduate student body. To do this, the department provides the following:

The undergraduate programs in computer science stress fundamental principles of computational thinking, including solid theoretical underpinnings, computational methods and models for solving problems, principles for designing computing systems to meet human needs, and techniques for analyzing the effectiveness of these methods, models and systems. They provide students with the conceptual foundation needed to stay at the front of this fast-changing field. For most courses, classroom learning is enhanced through significant faculty-directed, hands-on experience, typically in the form of a regularly scheduled laboratory.
