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.
