1976-1977 Academic Catalog

Academic Information 31 Academic Information The Cedarville College program is designed to meet the educational, moral, physi– cal, social, and spiritual needs of young people who desire to honor God with their lives. The total program represents a balance between the knowledge gained through the courses studied, the co-curricular activities, and worship in the regular chapel and church services. In such a setting, spiritual truths from Scripture are integrated with the knowledge taught in each course to provide effective learning and enduring life values. The knowledge and skills learned from the courses give the student an excellent background for professional competence in his chosen field. Degree Requirements Cedarville College grants two baccalaureate degrees: Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Music Education (B.M.E.). A degree candidate should carefully study the requirements for that degree as well as the special requirements for graduation found in this bulletin. Careful attention to these requirements will enable the student to avoid doing work which will not apply to a degree. General requirements are the following: 1. Meet all admission requirements. 2. Complete at least 192 quarter hours, 60 hours of which must be of upper division work (200-400 courses). 3. Maintain grade point average of not less than 2.00. 4. Establish minimum residency of one year (45 quarter hours, normally the senior year.) 5. Complete the general education requirements. (The Biblical Education re– quirement for freshmen and sophomore transfer students is 24 quarter hours; junior and senior transfers must complete at least one Biblical Education course each quarter of full-time residence.) 6. Complete the specific requirements for the required major. Minors may be declared but are optional. 7. Demonstrate proficiency in the use of the English language on a standard– ized examination or complete freshman English (LL120) with a 2.0 grade point average, or better, on a four point scale. 8. Complete at least two years of either classical or modern foreign language in high school or one year at the college level. 9. Graduating seniors are required to participate in the senior testing program by taking the Undergraduate Record Examinations scheduled. Upper division students must realize that it is their own responsibility to check on their progress toward meeting all requirements for graduation. They are urged to plan the class schedule for each quarter of the senior year at pre-registration time at the end of the junior year. This plan should be approved by the faculty counselor and checked to see that when it is completed all degree requirements will have been met. Students who cannot finish their program before the end of the Spring quarter in their senior year, but who can finish during the following summer, will be granted their diplomas upon completion of their programs at the summer commencement exercises.
