Visit Campus


Don’t just browse Butler, experience it. Our beautiful campus. Our friendly students. Our wonderful facilities. Why? Because once you’re here, we bet you’ll feel right at home. We give you several ways to try us on. Choose whichever way is most comfortable for you. We have various visits and events for students who are exploring Butler but have not yet applied (Prospective Student Events) and Admitted Student Events for those families making their final decision.

Prospective Student Visits



Explore Butler
(Daily visits scheduled all year long)

Explore Butler offers small group information sessions followed by student-led tours. The visit lasts about 2 hours. Explore Butler is available weekdays at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. throughout the year. Selected Saturday morning visits are available in the fall and the spring. Because of the particular volume, we offer special options for students interested in Pre-Pharmacy. The Pharmacy presentation is at 11:00 a.m., Monday through Thursday. We recommend you register at least two weeks prior to your visit. All visiting high school students should schedule their visits individually.
