All undergraduates are required to complete at least one ICR designated course that shows up on their transcripts. ICR designated courses require that students engage with the community for a minimum of 20 hours (per website). A conservative estimate of the percentage of students specifically engaging in community service through ICR courses is 70% (via communication with Provost and Director of ICR program).
