Liberal Arts

The

Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in liberal arts,

having the breadth and dexspth of a traditional liberal arts degree,

allows some student flexibility in choosing courses. It is expected

that students completing this degree will go on to graduate school,

medical school, law school, or a school of theology.

Students must apply to the program to gain entrance. Students

can apply at the end of the second semester of the freshman

year for entry into the sophomore year. To be considered for this

program, a student must meet the following requirements:

1. Maintain a 3.25 GPA or higher

2. Supply two faculty recommendations.

Freshmen may enter Cedarville University as a liberal arts

major with provisional approval if they have either a 27 ACT or

1210 SAT and a 3.5 high school GPA; however, they must meet

the requirements at the end of their freshman year in order to stay

in the program.

A liberal arts committee made up of one faculty member from

each area of the core will decide if a student will be granted entry

into the program. The appropriate faculty member in each area of

the core will serve as the academic advisor. The chair of the liberal

arts committee will sign as department Chair on all forms.

The liberal arts committee will approve all programs decided on

by the student and the advisor. Proposed programs and capstone

projects must be approved by the end of the sophomore year.

Students must include a study abroad component within their

four years of study. A summer travel study experience would

satisfy this requirement.
