Mission  
School mission: Butler is a university for students who want everything they can get from their education: a national reputation for academic excellence, (top-ten ranked Midwestern college by U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT for seventeen years), preparation for graduate school (about half of liberal arts graduates go directly to graduate school), preparation for a career (96% placement rate), academic programs steeped in the liberal arts and sciences, and real world experience in one of the nation's most dynamic cities (75% of students have internships). Our 290-acre campus, tucked away in a residential section of the city's popular north side, includes a historic canal, a nature preserve and a botanical garden with observatory and carillon, and a 2200-seat facility for the performing arts.
