A Butler degree provides anexcellent return on investment, with a 97 percent placement rate for our graduates.Hands-on learning and real-world experience are significant components of a Butler education. Examples include immersion of first-year Education majors in K-12 classrooms, business students managing startup companies and a nearly $3 million investment fund, and provision of free pharmaceutical care by pharmacy students to underserved communities in Indianapolis. Roughly 75 percent of Butler students graduate with career-related experiences.Butler is committed to undergraduate research. Our undergraduates present at national conferences and are published in peer-reviewed academic journals--alongside graduate students and faculty from top universities. Butler's annual Undergraduate Research Conference--one of the largest and longest standing of its kind--welcomes more than 700 undergraduate students from nearly 60 universities across the country. Butler students also engage in a wide variety of service learning opportunities that bring value to the University and community alike and inspire students to develop a lifelong commitment to service. Examples include our IndianapolisCommunity Requirement, a component of our core curriculum, which integrates classroom learning with active experiences in the Indianapolis community, and our Bulldogs Into the Streets program, where first-yearstudents join Butler faculty, staff, and alumni for a day of service throughout Indianapolis. Last year, BITS volunteers contributed roughly 2,400 service hours. International experiences run deep at Butler. Through courses in Global and Historical Studies, we help our students understand world issues and the historical trajectories that have brought us to where we are today.
