Small Classes

We push,
You’ll shine

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

By your side,
no matter what

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.
