Special Programs of Study Nursing Cedarville College offers two alternatives to students planning careers in nursing. First, by working carefully with an academic advisor, the student can complete the required general education sequence and the courses required for certain majors within two years. These students then transfer to institu– tions which offer programs leading to the granting of the registered nurse status. Upon completion of the R.N. 1 Cedarville College will grant a bachelor of arts degree in the major previously selected. The majors most often selected in order of preference are psychology, history, English, and speech. Science majors are chosen less often due to level of difficulty and the number of requirements. Second, those who already have the R.N. may enroll at Cedarville and within two years complete the general education requirements and the courses required for one of the majors listed in the previous paragraph. The bachelor of arts degree is awarded in the chosen major. Although this degree program does not have a strictly professional application, the student does have a liberal arts degree from a Christian college, has been able to take several Bible courses, and has had the Chris– tian fellowship and service opportunities only a Biblically-related college can offer. The program also lends itself to preparation for careers in foreign missionary service. It is possible for persons having the R.N. to get employment in area hospitals while enrolled in Cedarville, and there are some limited pos– sibilities for employment in the college health center. The degree granted in the previously described nursing program is not to be confused with the bachelor of science in nursing degree which is frequently required for those working in hospital supervision and profes– sional nursing education.
