In the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, we offer students an array of perspectives to help them think for themselves. You can explore rain forests in Panama or literature in Spain, present your research at national conferences, or intern with businesses, government, and non-profits in Indianapolis and Washington, DC. We help you take your knowledge beyond the classroom and into the world.
Butler’s Department of History and Anthropology offers an undergraduate degree in Anthropology that explores the human condition from a range of perspectives. We focus on cultural anthropology and research methods critical to understanding the complexities of the modern world. Students graduate prepared for a wide range of careers—including field archaeology, law, public policy, and library sciences— and ready to compete in top-level graduate programs. By producing original work through course research assignments, and possibly self-designed honors thesis projects, students learn how to think critically and write effectively. They leave our program equipped to carefully investigate issues and creatively solve problems on their own—essential skills for any future career direction.
