Butler University's reputation is built on providing the highest
quality liberal arts and professional education. We have a
long-standing commitment to preparing students to be successful
professionals and to be engaged citizens committed to making a
positive difference in the world. Through creative collaborations
on campus, in our urban community, nationally, and internationally,
we engage student in learning experiences with local impact, as
well as national and international reach.
To ensure this educational experience for all of our 54
undergraduate majors and our 20 graduate programs, we select
exceptional faculty who are teachers and scholars, fully engaged
with students both in and out of the classroom. Because we
understand the inextricable link between teaching and learning, we
provide faculty professional development opportunities designed to
advance their scholarship and creative activity, particularly when
they involve students in their work. We also support faculty
efforts to develop innovative programs and curricula, international
and domestic travel courses, and experiential activities that
challenge students to put theory to practice.
Butler's mission, which includes a commitment to the welfare of
others, comes to life in our academic programs. Our faculty, staff
and students invest in service-learning and volunteer outreach in
the areas of public education, public health, community arts
programming, urban environment improvement, business enhancements,
and English language learners.
Butler University is a great place to learn and work for
students, faculty, and staff committed to excellence and inspired
to Dare to Make a Difference. Our learning community invites
diverse opinions, big ideas, a focus on social justice, and a
spirit of fun.
