COLLEGE of LIBERAL ARTS and SCIENCES
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 Physics and Astronomy offers an undergraduate degree in Astronomy that combines traditional coursework with handson experience in a curriculum that emphasizes practical application and academic excellence. H

With small class sizes and access to world-class research facilities, our students get the personal education of a small college with all the advantages of a large research university. Students can enrich their educational experience through departmental employment, including paid research in observational astronomy, theoretical astrophysics, condensed matter, nuclear physics, nanotechnology, computational physics, geophysics, and engineering.
