Core Curriculum
All undergraduates at Butler are required to complete a
selection of courses that build the Core Curriculum of the
University.
Butler University is in the process of reshaping the core,
switching from a discipline-based model (taking classes in specific
areas such as biology, chemistry and psychology) to one that's
based on a set of faculty-approved learning objectives. The idea,
said Associate Provost Joe Kirsch, is "to better define what
outcomes you want, rather than just offering exposure to the
disciplinary material."
