Open House

Saturday, September 25 | Saturday, October 30

All-day event

Open House is our cornerstone event for high school seniors and transfer students in the college search process. The on-campus Open House is an all day, in-person event that includes an academic and student life fair, college-specific breakout sessions, an optional campus tour, and information sessions about admission, financial aid, and student life. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to connect with current students, faculty, and staff, and you'll leave with all of your questions about our application process answered.

Register for Open House.

 

Explore Colleges

The weekly visit options listed below provide more thorough information about specific academic colleges and programs. Different from our more general Explore Butler visit, these visits give you the opportunity to hear directly from a faculty or staff member within your area(s) of interest.

Due to the popular nature of these visits, we encourage you to register at least two weeks prior to your visit date. Note that all visiting students should schedule their visit individually, and our presentation room limits registered students to two guests each.

Registration will open soon!
