Butler University

If you want the advantages of attending a small school and be part of a close-knit student community but also have access to the cultural amenities of a large metropolitan city, then Butler University is for you. Located in Indianapolis, Butler University's nearly 150 years of providing quality liberal arts and sciences education makes it one of the outstanding independent universities in the Midwest.

More than 100 academic, social and special interest clubs ranging from ballroom dancing to rugby are available so that all students have ample opportunities to meet others with similar interests. If you enjoy running, inline skating, biking or jogging, then you'll want to check out one of the many greenways including the Monon Trail  a 10 mile-paved trail running north and south through the city.

          

Indianapolis, about 6 miles from Butler, is known for its sporting events and cultural amenities. Downtown trips for shopping, a Colts' football or Indians' baseball game or Indy Jazz Fest are a must. Tourists are drawn to such famous sites as the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Indianapolis Zoo and the Indianapolis Children’s Museum. Known as the "Crossroads of America," more interstate highways bisect Indianapolis than any other city in the country, making it an exciting and easily accessible destination. Chicago is an easy three hour drive North and both Cincinnati and Louisville offer exciting weekend destinations just two hours by car.

Housing

70 percent of Butler's students live on the campus in one of five residence halls or in the University’s new Apartment Village which opens in the fall 2006 .  A full-time Residence Life Coordinator (RLC) manages each residential facility.  The SAF Program Fee does not include the cost of mandatory meal plans.

Courses

The performing arts take center stage at Butler. Dance, theater and music students have the benefits of performing or being a member of the audience for a national act at Clowes Memorial Hall, a 2,200-seat performance hall on campus. Chemistry and biology are two other strong majors. Butler's AASCB-accredited business program offers degrees in accounting, economics, finance, international management, marketing and information systems management.
