Butler University

Butler University’s Jordan College of the Arts (JCA) puts our students and their success at the forefront of everything we do. The nationally recognized, conservatory-level instruction combined with the flexibility to choose your own path—double major, study abroad, participate in clubs, intern, etc.— provides a liberal arts education that will help you become an artist-citizen who knows how to succeed in an ever-changing arts world.

What’s more, we are situated in the heart of Indianapolis’ thriving art scene. You’ll be encouraged to connect with the local community and get real-world experience while you develop as an artist. We offer award-winning faculty, world-class facilities, and nationally recognized programs.

In JCA, you’ll find a supportive and nurturing environment where you can imagine, innovate, and inspire your own creative and artistic life.
