just curious...what is butler most known for?
or what do you think of when you think of Butler University?
Top 5 list:
Butler is most known for...
1. Outstanding pharmacy and ballet programs - some of the very best in the country
2. Men's Basketball! We were in the Sweet Sixteen in 2007 and we were Horizon League Champs last year
3. Smart students who make amazing interns and volunteers in Indy (that's our local reputation with employers and non-profits)
4. A very cool activist history - We were the second university in the US to admit African Americans and women.
5. Beautiful campus!
that's not necessarily my personal top 5 favorite things about Butler, but what I think we are best known for... hopefully that's what you were looking for!

What Butler is most well known for:
1) Basketball! After making March Madness for a few years in a row, it definitely got our name out nationwide.
2) Pharmacy - we're known around the midwest for our program, and we're ranked as one of the top in the nation for our pass rate on the NAPLEX
3) Historic Hinkle Fieldhouse / the invention of the orange basketball / location for the filming of Hoosiers
4) Clowes Hall - it's known around Indianapolis at least...there are a lot of great concerts (of all genres) and speakers that come to this great facility. FYI, Butler students sometimes get in for a discounted price or can get tickets before they go on sale to the public
5) The first Starbucks in Indiana! Actually, a lot of people probably don't know this, but it's a nice claim to fame!
