Eugene S. Pulliam School of Journalism

Small School - Big City . . . Bigger Opportunities.

With a student body of fewer than 150 students, the Eugene S. Pulliam School of Journalism can provide you with an education filled with hands-on experiences and professional opportunities that allow you to compile a strong portfolio of multimedia work for a wide variety of media-based careers.

As a Butler journalism major, you will spend three semesters working in the field, covering actual news beats and pursuing in-depth stories in the nation's 12th largest city and 26th largest media market. All student produced work is published on our website - IndianapolisNewsBeat.com - and often picked up by news outlets across the state via our collaboration with the Hoosier State Press Association's Information Network.

In addition, extensive opportunities exist regardless of your class year to work for and participate in our student-operated and student-led media organizations. All of these opportunities foster leadership, entrepreneurial skills, independent judgment and professional standards. They also allow you to explore all forms of media - broadcast, print, online, visual, audio, social, etc. - to broaden employment opportunities.
