Discover your vast potential in a world that’s getting smaller.
At every stage of the Butler Overseas journey, you can count on your advisors and mentors to help you meet your academic and career goals.
From the start, you’ll be assigned an academic advisor who is a faculty member within your chosen degree program. If you’re an Exploratory student, you will initially be assigned an advisor associated with either of the majors, and will switch once you’ve made your choice.
All students meet with their advisor before each term to confirm course selections for the following term. Your advisor will help you optimize your schedule to meet your individual needs, provide support when academic challenges arise, or prompt reflection on your larger life and career goals.
In addition to standard academic advising, each Butler Overseas student will be assigned a career mentor—an expert who is chiefly responsible for helping you explore your long-term career trajectory, maximize your unique strengths, and prepare to enter the workforce or graduate school.
Butler Overseas has professional and career development built into the three-year curriculum, so no student graduates without receiving personalized support.
Students can expect:
1:1 support from both an academic advisor and career development mentor
Tests and assessments designed to help identify strengths, areas of growth, and potential career paths post-graduation
Global internships, research opportunities, and job shadowing
Assistance with résumés, portfolio development, and interview strategies
Professional panels, career fairs, and connections to international organizations
Relationships within the worldwide Butler alumni network
Measured personal and professional progress during the program
Meetings with career mentors will take place both online and in person as you travel around the globe. By the time you graduate from Butler Overseas, you’ll be prepared with the foundation you need to stand out from the competition.
