Entrepreneurship and Innovation BUTLER UNIVERSITY COLLEGE of BUSINESS
In the College of Business, we believe that academic rigor is most effective when paired with lessons from the real world. To that end, we immerse students in actual business settings from their first days on campus. By the time they graduate, they’ll have earned more than a diploma—they’ll boast a level of skill and experience that makes them infinitely more hirable than their competition.
