Founder’s College

On November 3, 2023, Butler University announced the launch of a new two-year college in partnership with the national nonprofit Come To Believe Network (CTB). Founder’s College students can obtain their associate’s degree at Butler with little to no debt, and for those who elect to continue at Butler, most will be able to earn a bachelor’s degree for around $10,000.

Founder’s College will welcome its inaugural class in the fall of 2025. Students will be supported with mentorship, career services including paid internships, and other wrap-around services from day one to provide every student with the needed support to reach their academic and career goals.

Founder’s College will offer academic programs in Business Data Analytics, Business Management Studies, Healthcare Studies, and Youth and Community Advocacy. Students will graduate with a career-aligned associate’s degree, earning credentials along the way with a pathway to a bachelor’s degree.
