Learning Resource Center
What resources are available to a student who is
struggling academically or with the transition to
college?
The Learning Resource Center is the coordination site for
services, programs and resources that promote academic success for
all students of Butler University. We are committed to supporting
and guiding students as they strive to reach the highest standards
of academic excellence. We understand that academic struggle is not
necessarily due to a student's lack of preparation or academic
potential, but rather an issue relating to the discrepancy between
the academic expectations of high school and college.
A wide range of programs are coordinated through the
Learning Resource Center including academic success workshops,
individual consultations, and tutoring. For additional information

The Exploratory Studies Program
Exploratory Studies is a structured program aimed at helping
students identify interests, explore academic options, gain
exposure to the career development process and gather information
about professions that interest them. Students who are
undecided or who have multiple interests are encouraged to examine
their intellectual curiosity through a number of programs and
classes designed to help students determine their own best course
of study. In addition, students receive specialized attention
from trained academic advisors who assist the students in their
decision-making process.
The Exploratory Studies Program is part of the University's
Learning Resource Center, which exists to support academic success
at Butler University. Exploratory Studies offers a number of
services to assist students in their academic exploration. In
addition to individualized, proactive academic advising, the
program offers opportunities for students to take self-assessment
tests, interview faculty members from various disciplines, arrange
workplace tours and job shadowing, and attend workshops by guest
speakers covering a wide variety of relevant topics. The
Exploratory Studies Program works closely with other Butler
University departments such as Internship and Career Services, the
Center for Faith and Vocation, the Honors Program and Programs for
Leadership and Service Education to provide students with
information to make choices that best support their interests. For

Exploratory Studies Program, please visit our website http://www.butler.edu/exploratory/.
