2018-19 Undergraduate Academic Catalog

Liberal Arts The Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in liberal arts, having the breadth and depth of a traditional liberal arts degree, allows some student latitude in choosing courses. Students must apply to the program to gain entrance. Students can apply at the end of the second semester of the freshman year for entry into the sophomore year. To be considered for this program, a student must meet the following requirements: 1. Maintain a 3.25 GPA or higher 2. Supply two faculty recommendations. Freshmen may enter Cedarville University as a liberal arts major with provisional approval if they have either a 27 ACT or 1210 SAT and a 3.5 high school GPA; however, they must meet the requirements at the end of their freshman year in order to stay in the program. A liberal arts committee made up of one faculty member from each area of the core will decide if a student will be granted entry into the program. The appropriate faculty member in each area of the core will serve as the academic advisor. The chair of the liberal arts committee will sign as department Chair on all forms. The liberal arts committee will approve all programs decided on by the student and the advisor. Proposed programs and capstone projects must be approved by the end of the sophomore year. Students must include a study abroad component of at least six weeks within their four years of study. A summer travel study experience would satisfy this requirement.
