    Butler University Summary

    Increase your salary, get your degree in your spare time - FREE Application to University of Phoenix for a limited time

    Butler University is a private liberal arts university in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was there that the school was renamed Butler University “in recognition of Ovid Butler’s inspirational vision, determined leadership, and financial support.” Butler University has increased its focus on research with the Butler Summer Institute and a redesigned freshman biology course sequence. In 2001 New Butler President Bobby Fong opened the Telecommunications building on Butler’s campus, and almost simultaneously announced the sale of the traditional broadcast station to Telemundo, moving WTBU to a cable-based campus-only broadcaster. Butler Theatre’s web page is: Butler’s Dance department is acclaimed by many national guides and former students as a major strength of the university. Butler University’s athletic teams, known as the Bulldogs, compete in the NCAA Division I Horizon League. A renovation of the Butler Bowl (football stadium) to be finished soon will include field turf, which will allow the Butler Bowl to host football, soccer, and other events. The 2006-2007 men’s Butler basketball team won the NIT Season Tip-Off, which in part helped them to be named one of the top 12 underdog sports stories of 2006 by ESPN. The Butler program has traditionally been one of the best of the so-called “mid-major” basketball programs over the last decade, having won at least 20 games and reached postseason play eight of the last ten seasons, including five NCAA Tournaments. During the 06-07 season, Butler junior guard AJ Graves was named a Wooden Award National Player of the Year finalist in men’s college basketball, while Head Coach Todd Lickliter was also awarded the 2006-07 mid-season Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year and the National Association of Basketball Coaches National Coach of the Year honors. In the 2007 NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament Butler earned a 5th seed, the highest seed in the school’s history. In round two of the Midwest Regional, Butler defeated the 4th seeded Maryland by a score of 62 to 59, earning a trip to the Sweet Sixteen in St. Louis, MO to play #1 seed University of Florida. This marked the second time in five years and the third time in the school’s history that Butler has reached the Sweet Sixteen. Of note, Butler has the best winning percentage and most wins of all D-I men’s basketball programs in the state of Indiana over the last decade (21.6 wins per year through 2006), while having won the last six meetings with in-state rival Notre Dame and two of the last four against Indiana University. Butler has also been the defending champion of the Hoosier Classic men’s basketball tournament since the 2001-02 season, and has advanced to postseason play eight of the last ten years (5 NCAA’s, 3 NIT’s).
