First-Year Experience

Worried you’ll be completely overwhelmed when you first walk on campus? At Butler, we designed a unique experience to get new students fully up to speed quickly and make sure that doesn’t happen. Whether you’re trying to find interesting activities outside of class or literally just trying to find your first class—you’ll easily find all the support you need from the moment you walk on campus.

Well-being

Butler is a 360-degree transformative experience, preparing you for life and your career. It’s more than academics, you’ll have plenty of options to pursue service projects, join clubs, and step into student leadership. It’s no accident that our alumni become leaders in their communities. At Butler, our whole focus is the whole you.

Small Classes

Until you’re in college, it’s hard to imagine just how important an influential professor can be in your life. But when you make a connection with a faculty member who really makes you fall in love with a subject—who makes you want to know more and pushes you to excel—well, it’s a little like magic. At Butler, where the average class is just 22 students and we have an 11:1 student-to-faculty ratio, those connections happen all the time.

Mentorship

What if your classes were less like lectures and more like conversations? What if professors were mentors as well as teachers? At Butler, you’ll develop real relationships with faculty and staff—engaging in debate, working on research, and building relationships as they help connect your passion to your purpose. We’re a University where the faculty doors really are open.
