Cedarville University D.C. Semester
During fall semesters, students can participate in our own
program in Washington, D.C. Students take 16 credits, 10 of which
are an internship in their chosen major. Students are housed at
the Heritage Foundation and courses are taught by a Cedarville
professor who lives in D.C. for the semester. The program is
directed by Dr. Mark Smith and the Center for Political Studies.
Summer Geology of National Parks
Cedarville professor Dr. John Whitmore teaches a hands-
on geology course in one of the national parks. The course
fulfills Cedarville’s general education physical science course
requirement. Dr. Whitmore serves on the board of Creation
Research Science Education Foundation (Columbus, Ohio).
He is also a member of the Creation Research Society and the
Geological Society of America.
Summer International Business / International Management
The School of Business Administration offers two courses
(BUS-3910 International Business and MGMT-3570 International
Management) in a study abroad setting from mid May to early
June. Students gain experience within international companies
while taking one or both of these courses. Previous locations have
been China, Ireland, Spain, and Japan.

who desire to teach a specialized course abroad. Each summer

flexibility of a semester abroad. Locations vary each summer but
usually are in one or two of the following locations:
• China
• France
• Germany
• Greece
• Ireland
• Israel
• Oxford
• Spain

CCTECC Student Teaching Abroad Program
CCTECC is the Christian Coalition Teacher Education
Coordinating Council, which is made up of Christian colleges from
around the U.S. Since the late 1980s, this organization has been
helping its member institutions place quality student teachers in
quality schools on every continent except Antarctica. Cedarville
students have taught in over 20 different countries. Literally
speaking, the sun never sets on Cedarville student teachers.
Students apply for this program early in their junior year.
Only those with a good academic record, strong character, and
spiritual and professional performance references are allowed
to go overseas. Only schools and cooperating teachers who
meet Cedarville’s standards and the requirements of the Ohio
Department of Education participate with us. CCTECC helps
ensure that students are placed in environments that are safe and
nurturing both personally and spiritually. Students interested in this
program should contact Dr. Brenda MacKay.
Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies
Cedarville University is a “sustaining partner” with Au Sable
Institute. Students enrolled at Cedarville University (and who meet
prerequisites) may take advantage of courses offered by the Au
Sable Institute, including geographic information systems, marine
mammals, international development, tropical agriculture, marine
biology, wildlife ecology, and missions. Students may choose to
attend any of four Au Sable Institute locations: Au Sable Great
Lakes (Mancelona, Michigan), Au Sable Pacific Rim (Whidbey
Island, Washington), Au Sable Costa Rica (Vara Blanca, Costa
Rica), and Au Sable India (Tamil Nadu, South India). Au Sable
courses provide academic content, field experience, and practical
tools for stewardship of creational resources. The Institute grants
vocational certificates for environmental analysts, land resource
analysts, water resource analysts, and naturalists. Academically
qualified students are awarded the Au Sable Fellowship ($1,400).
Institute Grants-in-Aid of at least $500 are also available each
year. Honors scholarships of $250–400 are granted to returning
students. As a “sustaining partner” Cedarville students are also
granted a tuition discount ($300 per course). Interested students
should contact Dr. Mark Gathany, Cedarville University’s Au Sable
Institute representative.
Academic Enrichment Center —The Cove
The Academic Enrichment Center, known as The Cove, exists
to cultivate academic scholarship among all Cedarville students
— whether you’re a B student striving to be an A student, or a
C student striving to be a B student. More than simply accurate
note taking and successful test taking, scholarship is the spirit of
learning. It’s not about having a 4.0 but about students doing their
personal best — having goals for their futures, discovering their
academic learning styles, and taking advantage of the services.
For you to excel in your studies, you need the proper resources.
The Cove offers many such resources — including tutoring,
academic workshops, stress relievers, one-on-one consultations,
and much more. We will connect you with services that will help
you discover your academic learning style and create goals for
your Cedarville experience.
