Because of the specific, sequential course requirements
involved, completion of the program in four years requires careful
planning. Failure to take courses in their sequential order may
result in a fifth year for completion. Transfer students, particularly
those transferring in as juniors, will most likely require three years
of study at Cedarville to complete program requirements.
