About Butler University
Let’s start with the basics.
At Butler, we believe experiencing is foundational to learning. We believe in providing an innovative, student-centered community that can’t be found elsewhere. We believe in preparing students like you for success after graduation.
A Life with Purpose
An Intentional Education
At Butler, you’re preparing for a career—and life—you’ll love. So learning here comes with experience. Every academic program has some type of on-the-job, in-the-lab, from-the-stage, or wherever-you’ll-work component. And our approach works. Ninety-eight percent of our graduates are employed or attending graduate school within a year of graduation.
Hands-on Learning
Experiential By Design
At Butler, we believe experiencing is foundational to learning. So you’ll be applying what you learn right away—in class and out. You’ll be a more adaptive thinker. An expert problem solver. And, in four years, a candidate with more marketable skills than the competition.
Small classes. Huge potential.
Personalized to You
A Butler education will transform you. It will also transform to fit you. Here, you’ll be able to tailor your studies, your activities, your research, and your service-learning to the subjects, ideas, and career fields you’re really interested in. Add the close-knit community of staff, faculty, and friends who will support you, and you’ll be primed to do your very best work.
