General Education Course Sequence
Many of the general education requirements provide important
background for advanced courses that are required as a part of
a major field of study. Consequently, in most programs many of
these requirements are taken in the first two years of the four-year
curriculum. The sample four-year curriculum found by each major
field of study in the catalog outlines this sequence.
Because of the importance of several of the requirements to
all students,
the following five courses must be completed
before the beginning of the junior year or before a student
completes four regular semesters at Cedarville University:
