Butler University
Butler University, founded in 1855, built significant national name recognition through its men's basketball program's back-to-back runs to the NCAA championship game in 2010 and 2011, an improbable achievement for a mid-sized private university competing against programs from much larger conferences with far greater athletic budgets. The university's Jordan College of Fine Arts and its pharmacy and health sciences programs have each built solid regional reputations, and Butler's small size, around 4,500 undergraduates, lets it maintain smaller class sizes than most larger public universities in the state. Butler's Indianapolis campus location gives students direct access to the city's business, healthcare, and sports industries, and the university's "Butler Way," an institutional phrase describing a deliberate emphasis on humility, teamwork, and thoughtful preparation, became closely associated with the culture head coach Brad Stevens built around the program's surprising basketball success. The university's combination of a genuinely competitive Division I basketball program at a relatively small private university, alongside strong pharmacy and business programs, has made Butler a distinctive choice among Indiana's private universities, gaining broader national name recognition than its size would otherwise suggest.
VS
Indiana University Bloomington
Indiana University Bloomington, founded in 1820, is the flagship of the Indiana University system, and its Jacobs School of Music is consistently ranked among the very best music conservatories in the country, an unusual strength for a large public research university rather than a dedicated conservatory. The Kelley School of Business is one of the top-ranked undergraduate business programs at any public university in the country, and IU's informatics and computer science programs, built on the university's early leadership in database and information systems research, have grown into some of the strongest in the Midwest. IU's limestone-heavy campus architecture, built using stone quarried from the surrounding southern Indiana region, gives the Bloomington campus a distinctive, uniform aesthetic that's frequently cited among the most attractive public university campuses in the country. The university's combination of a genuinely elite music school, a top-ranked undergraduate business program, and a scenic, self-contained college-town setting in Bloomington has made IU a consistent draw for students seeking a comprehensive public research university experience with unusual specific strength in music alongside its broader academic offerings.
