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 offers an undergraduate degree in Philosophy that acquaints students with the distinctive nature of philosophical inquiry and introduces them to some of the main figures and fields of western philosophy.
THINK
Through studying philosophical problems, students will strengthen their ability to think logically, critically, and ethically; and learn how to accurately express complex new notions about our minds, morals, methodology, and more in both speech and writing.
