Academic Excellence

Butler University's goal is to provide the highest quality of teaching and to achieve the highest ideals of learning. We want our students to graduate from Butler with a commitment to lifelong learning, community service and global awareness.

Butler University consistently ranks among the top schools in U.S. News and World Report's rankings in the Midwest Universities-Master's category. In 2008, Butler moved up to No. 2 in that category, out of 145 schools.

Our five colleges – Business, Education, Jordan College of Fine Arts Liberal Arts & Sciences and Pharmacy & Health Sciences – deliver personalized education across 60 majors and pre-professional programs. Our student-faculty ratio is 11-to-1, so classes are small and individual attention is plentiful. And each freshman class is limited to approximately 915 students, which means your student will have the chance to experience all Butler has to offer without getting lost in a crowd.
