Beyond Individuals. Into Communities.

The combined Social and Psychology major at Butler is excellent preparation if you are considering advanced study or careers in areas such as counseling, social work, or law. Students in this combined major enroll in Sociology, Psychology, and Social Work courses that have both theoretical and applied learning opportunities. 

Small class sizes and a campus in the midst of the Indianapolis metropolitan area allow students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to real world settings and to everyday life.
