programs prepare teachers to work with students in grades 7–12. The Ohio Department of Education has approved Cedarville University to issue adolescent/young adult licenses for teachers in the areas of integrated science (comprehensive), integrated life science, integrated physical science, integrated physics, integrated chemistry, integrated mathematics, integrated language arts, and integrated social studies. In addition to approving the previously listed programs, the Association of Christian Schools International has also approved Cedarville to offer ACSI certification in integrated Bible. The multi-age licensure education programs prepare teacher candidates to work with students in grades pre-K to 12. The Ohio Department of Education has approved Cedarville University to issue multi-age licenses in the areas of music education, Spanish education, physical education, and health and physical education. The course requirements for each licensure field are outlined in the catalog under the department that offers the major; however, the following courses are common to all adolescent/young adult and multi-age education majors and are prerequisites for admission to the Teacher Education Program and upper-level classes.
