International Study Opportunities
Students are encouraged to take advantage of a semester-long
or yearlong program at one of Cedarville’s satellite campuses
or to participate in one of our own special summer programs.
Participants remain enrolled at Cedarville, continue to receive
financial aid, and take courses for Cedarville credit. Semester/Year
programs are open to all students who meet the specific program
requirements. The Cedarville summer study programs are open
to all students. Advanced planning is highly recommended. For
additional information and help with planning, contact International
Programs at

from International Programs must be received before students can
participate in any of the programs.

Cedarville students are encouraged to study with Cedarville
in Spain. Cedarville’s own learning center is located in sunny
Valencia, Spain. In addition to taking courses with a prestigious
language institute, students can participate in internships and
service learning opportunities depending on their level of Spanish.
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.
Cedarville Summer Abroad Programs
International Programs is continually working with professors
who desire to teach a specialized course abroad. Each summer
there are opportunities for students to take general education
and upper-level courses abroad with our own professors. These
courses are ideal for students whose majors do not have the
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
Cedarville has cooperating agreements with the following
groups/programs. Opportunities to study abroad or in the U.S.

these agreements. Restrictions apply to some of the programs.

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.
