METL Welcome
Butler University has a long history of serving teachers seeking
a Masters of Science in Education. Many teachers in the
Indianapolis area are graduates of our program and have been a
major influence in educational matters both at the local and state
levels.
The METL program offers students flexibility and personal
control. With the guidance of their advisor, students select
courses, workshops, and independent study experiences in their
areas of interest. The program culminates in a project designed and
executed by the student that will improve education in his or her
school or district or will influence a state issue for positive
progress and change. Students who wish to pursue National Board
Certification are encouraged to do so. Students may also choose to
use their work to professionalize their teaching license.
The METL program is based on the College of Education's four
core values: the appreciation of diversity and similarity; the
excitement of teaching, learning, and mentoring; the challenge of
integrated theory, practice, and collaboration; and the strength of
integrity and responsibility. We look for students who share these
values as they begin their work with us and who seek to strengthen
their expression of those values in their teaching and
leadership.
