About

Butler Community College is one of Kansas’s largest two-year institutions, best known for its exceptional nursing and health sciences degrees, robust agriculture program, and seamless transfer pathways to four-year state universities. Unlike many community colleges, Butler offers a traditional residential campus experience at its main El Dorado location, complete with active student organizations and a supportive, close-knit learning environment. The college particularly sets itself apart through its powerhouse NJCAA athletics program—boasting multiple national championships in football and softball—alongside specialized, hands-on training facilities in fields like fire science, digital media, and culinary arts.
