Butler University

Butler University is a private, mid-sized university of about 5,700 students, with a close-knit learning environment and broad undergraduate and graduate offerings. Its 300-acre Indianapolis campus places faculty and student talent within a major regional business community, while internships, research, service, and other applied learning create practical routes for engagement. The Office of Strategic Engagement is a central hub for partnerships with corporations, foundations, community organizations, education partners, and government; the university-hosted Central Indiana Small Business Development Center extends this network to entrepreneurs and growing companies. Butler faculty have received support from NSF, NIH, and NEH, with the Office of Sponsored Programs providing pre- and post-award support and university policies supporting protection and commercialization of eligible inventions.
