International Study Opportunities

Students are encouraged to take advantage of a semester-long

or yearlong programs 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

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

A Cedarville professor teaches a hands-on geology course in

one of the national parks. The course fulfills Cedarville’s general

education physical science course requirement.

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

Cedarville has cooperating agreements with several groups/

programs. Opportunities to study abroad or in the U.S. are

available in more than 40 countries and 118 locations through

these agreements. Restrictions apply to some of the programs.

CCTECC Student Teaching Abroad Program

CCTECC is the Christian Coalition Teacher Education

Coordinating Council and is made up of Christian colleges from

across the U.S. Since the late 1980s, this organization has helped

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. Schools and mentor teachers who meet Cedarville’s

standards and the requirements of the Ohio Department of

Education participate. 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 ($400 per course). Interested students

should contact Dr. Mark Gathany, Cedarville University’s Au Sable

Institute representative.

The Cove — Academic Enrichment Center

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.
