Planning for Butler Future Strategy

As we approach the conclusion of the Butler Beyond Strategic Direction during the 2024-2025 academic year, we are setting the stage for a new era of growth and innovation. The upcoming strategic planning process, culminating in the June 2025 Trustee meeting, will guide our institution in navigating the intensified challenges of rising college costs, increased competition, and a shifting undergraduate market. While our core mission remains steadfast—delivering exceptional undergraduate education, expanding lifelong learning opportunities, and enhancing accessibility—the specific strategies to achieve these goals must evolve. This planning process will focus on ensuring financial sustainability, fostering student growth, driving national brand recognition, and continuing to develop our campus and culture. Together, through an inclusive and transparent approach, we will build a resilient and thriving future for Butler University.
