Successful completion of BTBL- 3510 Intermediate Greek will satisfy the New Testament Greek language course prerequisite (3hrs) required for the Advanced M.Div. program. 1 Any upper level OT course can count toward the prerequisite requirement; course(s) listed is the recommended pathway. 2 Any upper level NT course can count toward the prerequisite requirement; course(s) listed is the recommended pathway. Note: The pathway courses indicated above would give the student 30 hours of undergraduate work recognized by the Advanced M.Div. program, plus 6 hours of additional graduate credit (potentially resulting in 55 hours of graduate course work remaining). The 61 hr Advanced M.Div. is based upon being able to recognize the total amount of the undergraduate prerequisites for the program (30 hrs). Students who are not accepted into the graduate program or who decide not to continue to completion of the Advanced Master of Divinity program should switch to the regular English major to complete the undergraduate degree. The Advanced Master of Divinity curriculum is described in the graduate catalog and available online at cedarville.edu/gradcatalog. Foreign Language As students become acquainted with the language, lifestyles, and belief systems of another culture, they can develop greater insight into that culture. Knowledge of a second language can become a valuable support skill for careers in business, Christian ministry, education, government, and social services. The department provides a variety of language courses that allow students to develop basic communication skills and cultural awareness. Guidelines for satisfying the general education requirement for foreign language are found on page 25. Students with previous language study may be eligible for test-out credit for first- and/or second-year language courses and should contact the department or the Office of the Registrar for details. Language students are also encouraged to consider the study abroad options listed under International Study Opportunities on page 21 .
