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
Wabash College
Wabash College, founded in 1832, is one of only a small handful of all-male liberal arts colleges remaining in the United States, having deliberately maintained its single-sex status even as most peer institutions, including most of the historic men's colleges founded around the same era, eventually went coeducational. The college's "Gentleman's Rule," a single, broadly worded code of conduct asking students to act as "a gentleman" in all circumstances rather than a lengthy list of specific prohibited behaviors, has governed student conduct at Wabash for more than a century and reflects the college's distinctive emphasis on self-governance and personal responsibility. Wabash's endowment per student ranks among the highest of any liberal arts college in the country, a financial position built substantially on a historically strong and unusually engaged alumni donor base, funding generous financial aid and academic resources relative to the college's small size. The college's continued commitment to single-sex education, combined with its small size, fewer than 900 students, and its close-knit alumni network, has made Wabash one of the most distinctive small liberal arts colleges remaining in the country, drawing students specifically seeking that particular, increasingly rare educational model.
