Total General Education Requirements.............................51–62 Many of these courses also satisfy the requirements for major fields of study. 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: • BTGE-1725 The Bible and the Gosp el • COM-1100 Fundamentals of Speech • ENG-1400 Composition • PEF-1990 Physical Activity and the Christian Life • Quantitative Course Requirement (See the General Education Requirements for Science and Mathematics) Page 24 2018–19 Undergraduate Academic Catalog 2018–19 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Page 25 Academic Information General Education Requirements Academic Information General Education Course Sequence
