Academics
We believe that great achievement starts with great opportunities. And that’s what you’ll get at Butler. From our core curriculum, based on the liberal arts and sciences philosophy, to how that learning is applied, Butler is about academic excellence. It’s a tradition that began in 1855 and has continued with each class of select students for more than 150 years.
Classes are just the beginning of your academic experience. You’ll have extensive possibilities to extend your education beyond the classroom through research opportunities, internships, and one of the nation’s best study abroad programs. And we blend the liberal arts with first-rate pre-professional programs to offer the best of both worlds.
Get a comprehensive look at the more than 60 majors at Butler, as well as lists of our majors and minors. If it’s a comprehensive, challenging curriculum you’re after, you’ll find it here.
If you’re undecided about “what you want to be when you grow up,” you can explore different academic programs and interests before you decide on a major.
Do you like to push the limits of your intellect? Dig deeper rather than running faster? Check out our Honors Program.
Put what you’re learning in the classroom to practice in the workplace and the world. We call it applied learning. You’ll call it a stepping stone to a successful future.
It isn’t a question of if you can study in a foreign country; it’s more a question of where and when. We offer more than 110 study abroad programs in over 40 countries – and the best part? You earn credit for it!
From libraries, labs and tutors to strategies and tools, we have everything you need to help you do and be your best as a student.
