Located in Indianapolis, Butler University offers both small class sizes and big-city perks. We offer seven academic colleges and
90+ majors, compete in the BIG EAST athletics conference, and are among the top schools in the country for
undergraduate education—in and out of the classroom. In fact, Butler was named the
No. 1 Regional University in the Midwest for the seventh consecutive year in the 2025
U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges Rankings.
Our beautiful
300+ acre campus will feel like home and our
lovable live mascot has a national following, but it's our students who will really impress you. Bulldogs are the hardworking, ambitious type. The Butler community’s commitment to student well-being means you will never face problems alone. And our innovative focus on learning by
doing—whether in the lab, the boardroom, the community, or across the globe—translates into graduates who are more than prepared to tackle life after college. Within six months of graduation, 98 percent of Butler students receive job offers or start grad school.
