Butler University Executive Education
The Foundations in Business Certificate (FBC) is especially effective for professionals entering positions where business skills are critical to success. In addition, successful completion of the FBC allows participants to forgo many pre-requisites when accepted to the Butler MBA program, moving you as much as a semester ahead.
The FBC is a very effective method to determine if pursuit of an MBA is right for you. Visit the FBC information page

Our theme for January is
Your Word!
The new year provides a new opportunity to reflect and focus on you and your growth journey. One way of doing that is to pick "your word" for the year, one word that inspires you and guides how you want to live your life in 2018. It's a word that has special meaning to you and provides clarity on what you are trying to accomplish. Some ideas could be: discipline, compassion, patience, forgiveness, joy, or bravery. Let your word come to you. Repeat your word regularly. Make it visible in your life. Let your word direct your mindset and actions to move you forward, making the most of your next 12 months.
