Core Curriculum
More tools for your toolbox.
Everything you learn in your Core Curriculum classes the first few semesters at Butler is designed to make you a sharper thinker, a stronger writer, and a better connector of (seemingly) unrelated concepts. It’s a demanding curriculum—made for those who embrace a good challenge.

“We worked with a local nonprofit to create a video game for people with autism to help them learn how to develop friendships and help identify social cues. This has been one of my favorite classes at Butler because of the immediate impact we had on our client and the community.”
