.ACADEMIC INFORMATION 37 SPECIAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY NURSING Many satisfying career opportunities are available to graduates of hospital training programs for nurses. These opportunities can be increased in the area of Christian service and missions for those who also complete the BA degree program at Cedarville. The Cedarville program involves evaluation of the course work and nursing skills completed in connection with a two or three year professional nurse training program. Normally the remaining courses needed for the B.A. de– gree may be completed in six or seven quarters or about two additional years in college. The instruction given in Biblical Education and general studies provides an excellent background for a career in medical missions, health care in the orphanages, children's homes, convalescent homes and schools or homes for missionaries' children. The two or three year professional nurse program may be completed either before or after attending Cedarville, however, if one desires to accept the challenge to be a Christian witness while in nurses training, it would be helpful to have at least one year at Cedarville before entering training. The added year of maturity plus instruction in Biblical Education, Biology, English Composition, and Social Science would give the student nurse, with such experience, a de.finite advantage. Those who complete the nurses training program before attending Cedarville would have the advantage of employment opportunities as relief nurses in area hospitals. The degree granted under this program is not to be confused with the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree which is a professional degree fre– quently required for those working in hospital supervision and professional nursing education. The Cedarville program includes, primarily, those courses which are typical of liberal arts degrees. PRE-PHARMACY A description of the pre-pharmacy program offered in cooperation with the College of Pharmacy at Ohio State University is described in the Science and Mathematics section of the catalog. 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 accepted from such schools.
