Butler University

Butler University is a private, comprehensive university with over 5000 full-time students enrolled in six colleges: Liberal Arts and Sciences, Education, Business, Arts, Communications, and Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
Pharmacy education at Butler University is built upon a strong liberal arts and sciences foundation and has been creating highly qualified pharmacy practitioners since 1904. The Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum prepares students for the practice of pharmacy in all professional environments including community, hospital, industry, and government with an eye to emerging areas of practice such as medication therapy management, managed care and interdisciplinary practice. Students in the Doctor of Pharmacy program may also enroll in tracks emphasizing study in Medical Spanish, Pharmaceutical Sciences research, or Patient Care research. In addition, Butler offers a dual-degree program that combines the Doctor of Pharmacy degree with a Master of Business Administration (in collaboration with the Lacy School of Business).
Our mission is to provide effective educational experiences in the health sciences. By fulfilling our mission, the College facilitates the development of life-long learners with a liberal arts foundation who are able to serve society as dedicated, competent health professionals and community leaders. We take pride in:
A top 10 NAPLEX pass rate that is over 5% above the national average. 98.38% Butler compared to 93.04 nationally (2012-2016)
95% job placement for our pharmacy graduates seeking positions
Our 295-acre campus location just minutes from downtown Indianapolis, provides our students access to excellent and highly diverse clinical experience opportunities. During the fourth professional year, students assist in providing patient care during 10 one-month experiential rotations in community and hospital pharmacies, clinics, and a variety of alternative career sites. Students participate as part of medical teams during these clinical experiences. Butler is able to provide our students with numerous choices for the type and location of rotations at excellent sites in Indiana and throughout the nation for both introductory and advanced practice experiences.
The College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. The professional pharmacy degree program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council on Pharmacy Education.
As recommended by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, Butler University requires interviews for admission to the Pharmacy Program and the completion of a standardized writing exercise. The interview day also provides an opportunity for students new to Butler to see the college and campus facilities, and speak with current students in the professional program.
