Theatre Study Abroad
Butler University encourages students to study in international settings as part of their academic experience. Theatre majors may choose to study for a semester, year or summer vacation period during their junior year. All theatre majors continue taking courses in theatre and/or core curriculum while studying abroad, without losing progress toward their undergraduate degrees. All grades earned are posted to an official Butler University transcript.
All students who wish to study abroad must apply through the Center for Global Education. The Center for Global Education provides study abroad advising, organizes pre-departure and reentry sessions, and maintains Butler’s list of Approved Programs for Overseas Study. This list of overseas study opportunities offers a wide variety of options to Butler students interested in studying abroad during the academic year. All programs on the list meet Butler’s high standards for academic excellence.
