The Core Curriculum at Butler University
includes two common elements: First Year Seminar, a
two-semester sequence in students' first year, and Global and
Historical Studies, a sophomore-year sequence of courses. Students,
then, successfully complete courses in six general areas of
inquiry:
- Analytic Reasoning
- The Natural World
- Perspectives in the Creative Arts
- Physical Well-Being
- The Social World
- Texts and Ideas
Butler students also complete "Writing Across the Curriculum"
and "Speaking Across the Curriculum" requirements, as well as two
experiences designed to connect them to the campus community: the
"Indianapolis Community Requirement" and the "Butler Cultural
Requirement."
The Core Curriculum includes Student Learning
Objectives and an Assessment Cycle.
