Accelerated study without compromise.

Our innovative approach to delivering the nationally recognized Butler experience provides motivated students the opportunity to save on tuition, dining, and housing costs while graduating sooner and jump starting their careers.

The best part? At Butler, an accelerated course of study doesn’t require students to compromise.

Students pursuing a three-year track will still enjoy all the hallmarks of the Butler experience: our focus on providing experiential learning opportunities, our student-centered approach in the classroom, and our vibrant campus life experience. Students enrolled in a three-year program still have the ability to live on campus, complete an internship, and participate in undergraduate research opportunities.

An accessible educational experience

“One way to make it more affordable is to help students get through in three years. Students who are enterprising, organized, and on top of it have been able to graduate in three years for a long time and we felt it was important to support those students—provide greater guidance, a little more structure, and better advice along the way to help them achieve this goal.” —Jay Howard, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
