High School Student Visits
Join us in person or stop by virtually—either way, we can’t wait to see you.
On-Campus Visits
Our visits for high school students are designed to provide a broad overview of Butler University. Learn about our academic programs, get info about financial aid and the admission process, and explore our beautiful 300+ acre campus.
Open House
Saturday, October 21 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Saturday, November 11 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
This full-day, on-campus event will get you about as close as you can get to the Butler experience before enrolling. Meet faculty, staff, and students, learn about academic and student life, get the low-down on the admission process, and ask anything that’s on your mind.
Recommended for high school seniors.
Info Session with Campus Tour
Weekdays at 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM ET
The Info Session with Campus Tour is our standard daily campus visit program. Join one of our admission counselors for a 30-minute information session about Butler and the application process, then take a 75 minute campus tour with a current student.
Pack a good pair of shoes: Between our 300-acre campus and everything to see in Indianapolis, you’re going to need them!
Recommended for high school students of all ages.
Campus Tour
Select Weekdays at 3:00 PM ET
Select Saturdays at 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM ET
Enjoy a student-led walking tour of Butler. You’ll see most parts of campus and have plenty of opportunities to engage with a current Butler student(s) and get answers to your questions. You can expect this visit to last approximately 75 minutes.
This is our standard campus tour without an admission presentation, allowing for a more abbreviated visit. If you want a full campus visit experience, consider registering for our Info Session with Campus Tour instead.
Recommended for high school students of all ages.
Discover Butler Preview Day
Saturday, September 16 from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM ET
If you’re just starting your college search or making your first trip to Butler, this 3-4 hour event will give you a good sense of what life is like as a Bulldog. Take a tour, participate in an academic and student life fair, and meet students and other community members.
Open to all high school students, but recommended for rising high school juniors and seniors.
This event is currently at capacity. However, we do have waitlist registration available and we encourage you to sign-up for a spot on the waitlist.
College Info Session
Already have an idea of what you’re planning to study in college? These visits will provide you more specific information about our academic colleges. Different from our more general daily Info Session with Campus Tour, this option will give you the opportunity to engage directly with a representative from the college of your choice and see that college’s facilities.
Info Session dates vary depending on college. You can view all available dates and times by clicking on the register button below.
Recommended for high school students of all ages.
Please note: This visit does not include a campus tour or general admission presentation. We encourage you to also register for one of our Info Session with Campus Tour visits.
