ICR is a part of Butler\u2019s Core Curriculum. In your ICR, you will spend twenty hours outside the conventional classroom, working outside Butler. It might be in a school, a business, a non-government agency, a charity or a think-tank, or somewhere else. You can fulfill this requirement at any point in your student-career, but many students have found that beginning a practice of making a contribution outside the Butler campus has boosted their mental health and eased their transition to college.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"two-column-two-buttons__actions\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-buttons butler-button-group is-vertical wp-block-butler-button-group\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-text-link-blue-medium butler-auto-contrast\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/academics\/core\/components\/indianapolis-community-requirement\/\">Learn More<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-text-link-blue-medium butler-auto-contrast\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"#categories\">Back to top<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":0,"parent":9228,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9198","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"revision_note":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>First-Year Seminar Courses | Butler University<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our First-Year Seminar courses span many topics.
