Butler’s New Two-Year College

Opening in fall 2025, Founder’s College at Butler University offers affordable, career-focused two-year associate degree programs for central Indiana students with financial need.

A Different Kind of College is Here.

Earning a college degree helps build a foundation that leads to lifelong career skills. But the high cost of college can put that future out of reach. Founder’s College at Butler University is different. We’ve designed a way for you to achieve your higher education goals with two-year associate degrees in business, data analytics, healthcare, and youth development—all with little to no cost. 

Looking for something to build your future on? You’ll find it at Founder’s College at Butler University. 

Introducing Founder’s College

At Founder’s College, you’ll find a diverse student body with one thing in common: the persistence and passion needed to take their education to the next level. Most are young central Indiana adults just out of high school. And most are students with great potential who perhaps didn’t think a Butler education was accessible to them.
