Named one of the "Best in the Midwest by US News & World Report, Butler University emphasizes a liberal arts-infused education that develops engaged citizens committed to making a positive difference in the world.

Butler is committed to providing the highest quality education and integrating the liberal arts with professional education. In our curricular and co-curricular offerings, we create and foster a stimulating intellectual community built upon interactive dialogue and inquiry among students, faculty, and staff. This begins with our First Year Seminar and Global and Historical Studies programs and our innovative Core curriculum. We aim to provide excellent teaching and learning experiences for our students, including opportunities to develop clear and effective communication, a sense of aesthetics, and a commitment to lifelong learning and community engagement. We cultivate an awareness and understanding of other cultures in our academic programs, and promote the vitality of cultural and ethnic diversity of faculty and students.

Through creative collaborations on campus, in our urban community, nationally, and internationally, we engage students in learning experiences with local impact and global reach.

We invite you to explore the excellent and innovative academic offerings of Butler University, from our nationally-recognized dance program in the Jordan College of Fine Arts to majors in our new College of Communication and our interdisciplinary studies programs; from the experiential learning opportunities in our College of Business to the community outreach efforts by the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences; and from the College of Education's special initiatives linking Butler to local Indianapolis schools to the variety of programs offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
