Dean's Message
For over a century, the Jordan College of Fine Arts has educated
talented and aspiring young artists for careers in the arts. Our
graduates are working on Broadway and in Hollywood, playing in
orchestras, performing with dance companies, teaching in schools
and universities, and leading arts organizations.
Jordan College students receive a first-rate arts education.
They also benefit from the rich array of opportunities offered by
Butler University, one of the nation's leading universities. Butler
is located in the heart of culturally vibrant Indianapolis, home of
many professional arts, media and communication organizations. When
students are accepted into the Jordan College, they join an
energetic group of faculty and students, a community that is
enriched by performers, ensembles, and scholars from across the
city, the country and from around the world.
The Jordan College is in the midst of a more than
forty-million-dollar facilities expansion that will provide it with
state-of-the-art instructional, performance and public spaces. Not
only is the College transforming its physical plant, it is actively
recreating its programs for the New Century.
But a great arts college must have more than superior facilities
and location. It must support its members as they strive to reach
the very highest artistic and educational goals. Its faculty must
be comprised of nationally and internationally recognized
individuals who are working on the cutting edge. Its students must
willingly commit their considerable talents and energies to the
achievement of excellence. The Jordan College has all this and is
devoted to assisting each student with making his or her place in
the nation's cultural future.
We hope you will enjoy learning more about our College by using
this website. On behalf of the Jordan College, let me extend a warm
welcome to you.
Sincerely yours,
Peter Alexander, Dean
