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 Modern Languages, Literatures & Cultures program offers a comprehensive Chinese minor that intensively explores all aspects of the language from reading and writing to speaking and listening, and interdisciplinary study in partnership with many other prestigious Butler programs such as International Studies, History, Global and Historical Studies, Communication, and Business. Students may also pursue an Individualized Major in Chinese and East Asian studies. Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world. Our program affords students every degree of immersion necessary to increase fluency, all while exposing them to the rich cultures of China and East Asia.
