Additional elective courses may be completed in May or Summer sessions at
AuSable Institute by approval of the student's academic advisor.
Medical Technology Option
A
medical technology
option is available within the biology
major. The student must spend one year in a hospital internship
program to become a certified medical technologist. Prerequisites
to the hospital internship include: 16 hours of biology, 16 hours of
chemistry, one mathematics course, and completion of all general
education requirements.
Students may do an internship during their senior year with
32 hours of transfer credit applied to the biology major upon
successful completion of the internship. Many students complete
the requirements for a biology major first and then take the
internship after graduation from Cedarville University.
Physics Minor

physics minor
involve 18
semester hours including:
PHYS-2110, 2120, 2130 General Physics I, II, and III..................10 PHYS-3110 Intermediate Physics Laboratory.................................2 PHYS-3510 Modern Physics .........................................................3Physics Electives.........................................................................3
Special Programs
Preagriculture Curriculum
The
preagriculture curriculum
is designed to satisfy the
technical and non-technical requirements of the first two years of a
typical agriculture program. Students should research agricultural
schools to which they wish to transfer at the junior level so that
application materials can be completed in advance of deadlines.
The preagriculture students should confer with their advisor to
select electives based on the following criteria:
• The requirements of the school to which they will transfer
after leaving Cedarville University
• The specific agricultural program they wish to enter
Course requirements include core requirements and an
emphasis in either agriculture business or agriculture science.
