First-Year Experience

Although as a major university we’re relatively small, coming here can mean a big change for most new students. So, we’ve created a first-year experience called Butler ONE to help smooth the way into your new environment, whether it’s academics, cultural orientation, or planning the next steps in your personal and professional journey.

Well-being

The classes and coursework at Butler are designed to challenge and strengthen your intellectual side. But what about the rest of you? At Butler, you’re not alone—and we’re here to help. We want to make sure every aspect of you—mind, body, and spirit—gets the care and attention needed to make the most of your Butler experience.

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

Not long after you get to campus, you’ll meet your faculty mentor—a professor from the department that houses your major who will work with you to reach your academic, career, and personal goals. Every one of us at Butler wants you to thrive; your mentor is there to make sure you get the support you need.
