DEGREE REQUIREMENTS 39 SPECIAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY NURSING-Some students desire to earn the Bachelor of Arts degree using the credits secured from the nursing programs toward the total requirements. This can be done by attending Cedarville College either .before and/or after completing the nursing program. Considering all of the factors involved it seems best to enroll at Cedarville for at least one year before enrolling in nurses training. This program is designed to broaden the student's background in general education and provide specialized instruction in an area or areas that relate to professional and career goals. In most cases the required work can be completed in six or seven quarters. This includes at least one year of modem or classical foreign language in college unless the student has completed at least two years of foreign language in high school. When completed the graduate will have an excellent background of general studies including Biblical Education, Social Science, Fine Arts, Communica– tion, Literature and perhaps electives in Science and Mathematics. BUSINESS AND TECHNICAL-Those students enrolled in college level business and technical courses in community colleges may wish to have such credits evaluated toward the bachelor's degree. A letter of request and an official transcript of credits will be needed for the registrar to evaluate the acceptable credits. In some cases a substantial block of credits may be ac– cepted from such schools. INDEPENDENT STUDY As a result of the need for college students to develop a high degree of independence in their ability to choose and investigate problems, a special program in independent study has been organized. The objectives of the pro– gram include the provision for students to explore areas not covered in nor– mal course structure, the provision of opportunities for self-motivation, and provision of opportunities for faculty and students to work closely on spe– cialized projects. Although the individual students and faculty members are to work to– gether on the development of criteria for successful completion of an independent study project, the following rules serve as guiding principles in the operation of the program: 1. No student may enroll in more than one independent study situation during the same term. 2. Hours granted for any one independent study shall not exceed four quarter hours.
