boldly innovate and broadly educate, Butler Overseas provides a highly structured yet expansive global degree experience. Butler Overseas\u2019 inaugural majors and minors are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/overseas\/academics\/environmental-studies\/\">Environmental Science<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/overseas\/academics\/international-business\/\">International Business<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/academics\/overseas\/academics\/environmental-studies-major\/\">,<\/a> with an exploratory track and more programs to come as demand for globally informed perspectives continues to grow across industries and professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/overseas\/academics\/learning-by-location\/\">Centered on travel and high-quality educational programming<\/a>, Butler Overseas is a cutting edge pathway for students seeking to graduate in three years while learning in the context of international experiences. The program is designed to build both career confidence and cultural competence through five key pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Engagement with <strong>Global Issues<\/strong> like sustainability, guided by the <a href=\"https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/goals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">United Nations Sustainable Development Goals<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An <strong>Interdisciplinary Approach <\/strong>rooted in Butler\u2019s liberal arts foundation, which challenges students to explore complex problems with creativity and collaboration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An emphasis on <strong>International Perspectives,<\/strong> which students gain by studying in diverse locations across six continents as they earn their degrees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Innovation through <strong>Place-Based Learning,<\/strong> as each location becomes a living classroom and local culture, history, and context shape personal and academic growth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A continued commitment to <strong>Experiential Learning and Career Development,<\/strong> preparing future leaders through internships, research, and other immersive experiences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This unique degree model would not be possible without Butler\u2019s 30-year partnership with the nonprofit <a href=\"https:\/\/ifsa-butler.org\/who-we-are\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Institute for Study Abroad (IFSA)<\/a>.
