Dear Friend: We encourage you to read this catalog and become acquainted with the program of Christian liberal arts education offered by Cedarville College. As you peruse the pages of this catalog and then, hopefully, have an opportunity to visit the campus, you will see that without reservation Cedarville College is a Christian college with Christian students, professors, and staff members interested in seeing that biblical truth is integrated into the curriculum and emphasized in every other area of the student's Iife. It is our conviction that a Christian college must be founded on and be controlled by sound Scriptural convictions and be unwilling to sacrifice Christian conduct and biblical standards. We believe that standards for trustees, faculty and students should be uncompromisingly in harmony with God's Word. In keeping with this principle, Cedarville College submits itself to biblical authority and is administered by godly faculty, consistent administration, and a dedicated Christian board of trustees. As you con– sider the possibility of becoming a student on our campus, it is imperative that you sincerely consider these standards to determine whether or not you will be happy in this type of environment. Evidence of God's approval of and His blessing upon the college holding these convictions is seen in the growth and influence of Cedarville College during the past twenty-four years. We have seen the enrollment increase from 100 students to over 1200. Applications for admission are greater in number than they ever have been in the history of the institution. The college has been approved by the state of Ohio for teacher education and has already prepared many teachers who have been certified to teach in the public and Christian schools. We have been granted regional accredita– tion by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Cedarville College has academic excellence as one of its important goals. In offering an education to young people entrusted to us, we seek to provide instruction equal or superior to that found in the secular colleges of the day. Many of our graduates have gone directly from graduation to areas of service and have been highly successful. Others have extended their academic program and have completed work in many graduate schools and theological seminaries. We are encouraged that Cedarville College has had a vital part in these successes. As you visit the campus, you will see that the physical facilities have been progressively improved as funds have been made available. A new library building, a new science center, new dormitories are some of the recent additions. A new chapel completed and used for the first time in May of 1976 is the most recent addition to buildings on our campus. Cedarville College is a Baptist college supported by Bible-believing churches for the benefit of all Christian young people, regardless of denominational affiliation. Our students and graduates are encouraged to serve enthusiastically in the local churches. We desire to have a part in assisting committed young people to achieve worthwhile goals in life. If we can be of help to you we shall be very grateful. Sincerely in Christ Dr. James T. Jeremiah.

Adventure in Learning 7 Adventure in Learning Cedarville College is a Baptist college of arts and sciences enrolling about 1221 students. A balanced liberal arts program is coupled with an evangelical, conservative theological position in regard to doctrine and patterns of conduct. In keeping with the liberal arts concept, the curriculum provides for a broad background of general studies combined with a thorough study of the Bible followed by concentrated study in a major field selected by the student in keeping his area of interest, ability, and professional goals. All classes are taught by dedicated Christian professors who present the knowledge found in the respective courses integrated with Biblical Christian perspectives. The challenge and adventure to be found in the pursuit of knowledge is real and demanding. Young people who are vitally interested in discovering new subjects, concepts, methods and materials will find professionally prepared instructors anxious to share and impart knowledge to all who are interested in this dynamic educational adventure. Personal development will also result if the student's goals and moral philosophy are clearly defined. Great profit can come from exploring new fields of knowledge if there is evide11ce of Christian commitment, direction and purpose. Th(;} pattern of instruction at Cedarville College includes a basic program of general studies including Biblical education, communication, humani– ties, physical education, science, mathematics, and social science. In addition, .each student will complete a major in the area of his interest. The usual pattern of educational experience involves the pursuit of general studies during the first two years in college, followed by completion of the requirements for the major which is closely related to career goals. Although the years at Cedarville College represent a concentrated educational experience in pursuit of the baccalaureate degree, it is un– derstood also to be the beginning of a lifelong adventure in learning. All professions require constant reading and study to keep abreast of new developments in the field. The professional person who studies diligently to keep up with current practice is usually recognized as a leader in his profession. Along with the respect that is engendered, the Christian college graduate is called·upon to exercise a leadership role not only in a professional way, but also in the local church. The administration, faculty and staff are committed to helping the student achieve these goals. The money and effort invested in education at Cedarville can pay high dividends throughout life. The purpose of Cedarville College, a Baptist college of arts and sciences, is to offer its students an education consistent with Biblical truth. To achieve this purpose the college seeks to accomplish the following objectives: 1. To undergird the student in the fundamentals of the Christian faith, and to stimulate him to evaluate knowledge in the light of Scriptural truth. 2. To encourage growth in Christian character in each student, and help the student accept his responsibility in faithful Christian service. 3. To increase the student's awareness of the world of ideas and events which are influencing our contemporary culture and to prepare the student to knowledgeably participate in our democratic society.

This program, taught by exceptionally well qualified faculty members of the Biblical Education Department, lends itself to preparation for service in the pastorate, missions and other related vocations. While it is recognized that many students will want to go on to seminary and other graduate schools, Cedarville does include in its curriculum a comprehensive Bible program, which includes an emphasi:;; on missions, Christian education, and the pastorate. Pastoral and missionary internships are available. Pre-Medicine and Pre-Dental The science program at the college lends itself very well for preparation for entrance into medical schools. The recent construction of a new science building plus a well-qualified faculty in the sciences and mathematics enable the student to face the entrance tests with confidence. Students may wish to examine catalogs from professional schools for specific requirements.
12 Cedarville College Pre-Law Cedarville's accredited liberal arts program provides excellent prepara– tion for students entering law school. Because the practice of law deals with a broad spectrum of society most .law schools prefer that a student select courses from a number of major areas. 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 program include the provision for students to explore areas not covered in normal course structure, the provision of opportunities for self-motivation, and provision of opportunities for faculty and students to work closely on specialized projects. It is a college objective to encourage student travel to foreign countries. Credit may be earned for such experience under the Independent Study Program. Although the individual students and faculty members are to work together 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. 3. The faculty member supervising the independent study must review and initial the student's copy of the written proposal and the registration card. Registration for the independent study should be done at the beginning of the quarter in which the work is to be completed. 4. No more than eight hours in independent study may be counted toward the major field, no more than four hours toward a minor field, and no more than sixteen may be counted toward graduation. Independent study should not be taken outside of major and minor fields without written approval of the department chairman and academic dean. 5. Juniors and seniors are eligible for independent study. Sophomores may be considered to be eligible if they also have the approval of the academic dean and department chairman. 6. Grade point average shall not be a qualification for independent study, although the faculty member has the right to deny student participation for any reason the faculty member deems appropriate. 7. The grades of credit-no credit may be used as well as the regular marks at the discretion of the participating faculty member. The Educational Development Program The Educational Development Program is organized to assist some students to overcome certain academic deficiencies as shown by their high school grades or test records. The student enrolled in the EDP is given an opportunity to overcome deficiencies in his preparation. This non-credit program provides instruction in reading and study skill development along with counseling and special help in written English. The EDP is the equivalent of a four credit hour course when evaluated on the basis of time, and work required.
Adventure in Learning 13 In addition to the specialized instruction, designed to greatly improve the student's academic performance, he is also expected to register for regular course work which, when combined with the EDP assignments, is equivalent to a normal class schedule. Upon completion of the EDP, the student's performance and scholastic record is reviewed by the Admissions Committee to determine his readiness to follow a regular program normally scheduled by a full-time student. 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. 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 re– quired for certain majors within two years. These students then transfer to institutions which offer programs leading to the granting of the registered nurse status. Upon completion of the R.N., 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 Christian 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 possibilities 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 professional nursing education. Cedarville College cooperates with the Baptist Bible College of Clark's Summit, Pennsylvania in their five-year missionary nursing program. The unique feature of the new program is that those who enroll will spend all five years in residence at a Christian college - the first year at Cedarville for the necessary science background and the remaining four years at BBC. The entire second year of study is taken at BBC with the nursing training beginning during the summer following the second year. The third year will be a combined BBC-Community Medical Center program while the fourth and fifth years will concentrate on professional training at the School of Nursing. Program information is available from BBC.
14 Cedarville College Reserve Officer Training Corps: Participation in the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) is available to Cedarville College men and women. Classes and drills are held at Central State University which is approximately four miles from Cedarville. ROTC credits will be transferable to Cedarville College. Interested students should contact the Military Science Department (ROTC) Central State University, Wilberforce, OH 45384. Study Abroad Program of Christian Colleges (SAPOCC) Students planning intensified study in languages are encouraged to participate in the SAPOCC program sponsored by King's College, Briarcliff Manor, New York. Three different programs are offerf)d in France, England, Germany and Spain. Cedarville cooperates in this program with other Christian colleges. SAPOCC is a unique experience for Christian young people because it provides them with Christian living, fellowship, and Christian service opportunities in the foreign country as well as an excellent academic program. American Institute of Holy Land Studies: Excellent opportunities are available to students who may desire a special educational experience in Israel during the summer months. Infor– mation may be obtained from the chairman of the Biblical Education Department. Credits received are applicable to the student's academic program at Cedarville. Correspondence Study Although correspondence study seldom can replace the experiences gained through the actual classroom instruction and discussion, it is recognized that occasional utilization of correspondence study is necessary. "'"he total number of quarter hours of correspondence study accepted toward completion of degree requirements shall not exceed fifteen. In order for correspondence study to be acceptable, prior permission must have been received for each course from the instructor of the course
Adventure in Learning 15 involved, the academic counselor, and the Registrar. Correspondence study is not counted as residence credit, and therefore can not be counted toward the residence requirements. Permission forms are available in the Registrar's office. Credits received for correspondence study are treated in the same manner as transfer credits. 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. Credit or No Credit Program Credit-No Credit/Fail may be assigned by faculty members in such courses as student teaching, laboratories and independent studies. The opportunity to take elective'courses on a "Credit or No Credit" (CR or NC) basis offers students the occasion to develop background in new areas of study without threatening cumulative grade point averages. The following rules govern the program: 1. Juniors and seniors shall be allowed to take elective courses on a credit or no credit basis. No more than one course may be taken in any one term. 2. Electives shall be those courses which will not count toward either general education, major, minors, or cognates. 3. In order to receive credit the student must maintain at least a "C" average in the course. 4. The maximum number of courses allowed per student shall be in relation to his grade point average, as follows: 2.0 - 2.49 - one course 2.5 - 2.99 - two courses 3.0 - 3.49 - four courses 3.5 and above - six courses 5. Following the end of the fourth week of the quarter, the student may not change a course from the credit or rio credit system to the regular program. 6. The student may not change a regularly scheduled class to credit or no credit after the first full calendar week of the quarter. Testing Out Procedure Qualified students are allowed to earn credit hours toward graduation by passing the appropriate examinations with a grade of "B" or better. Students interested in testing out must have department chairman ap– proval. Tests can be taken during registration week or during the first two full calendar weeks of classes. The student will be granted hourly credit but will not be given a grade on the transcript. Students may not test out of a course they have audited and are not able to test out of more than twenty-seven quarter hours. A $10 test fee must be paid in advance. This amount will be applied to the $15.00 per hour fee if the student successful– ly passes the examination.
Adventure in Learning 17 Student Life The college program is designed for the continuing development of each student in his spiritual, academic, physical and social life. The fundamental Biblical position establishes a conservative pattern for all activities and conduct. Students gain excellent practical experience in Christian service as they participate in musical groups; teach Sunday School classes; conduct hospital, mission, and jail services; teach Bible clubs; and serve on gospel teams. Involvement in the social life at Cedarville contributes to personal development and also provides outlets from the demands and pressures of college. Participation in one or more of the many campus student groups provides additional opportunities for enrichment. Some of these groups sponsor banquets, concerts, and other forms of cultural enjoyment. Our scenic 180-acre campus provides students with ample room to relax, study and enjoy the fellowship of other Christian young people. Standards of Conduct Before any student is enrolled at Cedarville College, he must sign a statement signifying his willingness to adhere to the standards and regulations of the college. Students who do not cooperate in maintaining the standards of conduct established by the college may be requested to withdraw. This applies to conduct while at college and also at home or off the campus. Certain types of conduct are positively forbidden. Among these are the use of tobacco in any form, alcoholic beverages, the non-medical use of drugs, and use of cards which are employed in gambling, dancing, attendance at movie theaters, membership in secret societies, excessive use of cosmetics, and the wearing of extreme fashions. Students are expected to abstain from the practice and/or promotion of those temporary Apostolic gifts usually associated with the Charismatic movement. Students will also be expected to exercise discernment regarding their choice of music. Rules regarding these will be strictly enforced. Students are urged to set aside .a definite period each day for private devotions. Regular attendance at student prayer meetings aids the student in maintaining a healthful spiritual life. All students are required to attend church services regularly. Chapel The students and faculty meet together each day for worship and fellowship in a chapel service. Every student is required to attend. Faculty members, visiting pastors, educators, evangelists, and missionaries serve as speakers for these programs. Praise, prayer, worship, and practical Christian work are stressed. A series of Bible lectures and a missionary conference is scheduled each year. Each year the Staley Distinguished Christian Scholar Lecture Program is a week-long part of the chapel program. New Student Orientation Immediately prior to the beginning of each quarter new students par– ticipate in an orientation program designed to facilitate adjustments to their new surroundings and provide an opportunity for course selection
18 Cedarville College and program planning with the assistance of an assigned faculty adviser. The fall program includes an orientation session for parents. The fall Bible conference and day of prayer are important parts of the first week of activity. During this period several appraisal instruments are administered to all new students. These tests must be taken before a new student is considered registered. Devotional In addition to private devotions and weekly residence hall prayer meetings, student prayer groups meet at various times each week to pray for missions. Two days are designated each year as days of prayer. Christian Service Every student is encouraged to participate in some area of Christian service for at least two of the four years of the college program. It is the belief of the college administration and faculty that this experience provides a vital means of achieving the stated objectives of the college. There are opportunities for experience and service in local church ministries such as youth meetings, music, junior churches, nurseries, S.S. teaching and preaching opportunities. There are openings in homes for orphans, homes for Senior Citizens, penal institutions, rescue missions, children's meetings in private homes and at a school for mentally retarded children. There are Swordbearers and Gospel Teams and community canvassing as well as summer mis– sionary internship programs. Many students are challenged by a campus visitation program in which there is an opportunity to share their faith in Christ with their academic peers on other college campuses. During Spring break there are Swordbearers Spring tours, Beach Evangelism in Florida and also a summer Swordbearers Gospel Team. The Director of Christian Service is responsible for the assignment of students who register for all kinds of Christian service work. He is also responsible for Sunday services on campus, prayer meetings, pastoral counseling, and Swordbearers teams. Records are kept of all Christian Service activities and a permanent file on each student. The Christian Service Committee, made up of both faculty and students, works with the Director in defining the types of activities as well as establishing guidelines for the entire Christian Service program.
Student Life 19 Missionary Internship Service The primary objective of MIS is to give those interested in m1ss1ons a short term exposure to mission life. Such an exposure, however, is intended not only for the benefit of visiting a mission field, but also for the purpose of being of service in the missionary outreach. Objectives: 1.

The goal of the Counseling Service is to aid individual members of the college community in making their college experience as enriching and meaningful as possible by offering assistance in their discovery of and conformity to God's will for their lives. Professional counseling personnel work closely with members of the staff and faculty. Musical Organization Students with musical talents have many opportunities to participate in college musical programs, gospel teams, Concert Choir, Choralaires,
20 Cedarville College Symphonic Band, Brass Choir, Symphonic Orchestra, and vocal and instrumental ensembles. A pep band performs at athletic contests. Student Senate ·The Student Senate is the representative assembly of the student body.

The purpose of the Student Senate is to assist in providing an effective program of co– curricular activities; to work with the proper authorities, or take action in accordance with the desires and in the best interest of individual students or for the entire student body. Student Senate is to function in a manner that is glorifying to God and in harmony with Scripture and supportive of the purpose and objectives of the college and the principles on which it has been founded. Election to the Student Senate provides an opportunity to exercise democratic leadership in student affairs.

Residence halls for women include Bethel, Faith, Harriman, Hartman, Maddox, Patterson and South and for men, Williams, West, Cedar Park, Carr, Rogers, and Marshall. When the college is unable to accommodate all of the students in its residence facilities, some select upperclass students are assigned to approved off-campus housing. All arrangements for off-campus housing for students under twenty-five and not living at home are made by the Student Personnel Office. Married students are responible for providing their own living quarters. However, the college will assist by recommending suitable housing which may be available at the time of enrollment.

Location Student Life 25 Cedarville is conveniently located near the center of the triangle formed by expressways 1-70, 1-71, and 1-75. The natural beauty of the gentle rolling countryside provides an ex– cellent setting. Cedarville College is conveniently located in the rural community of Cedarville, Ohio, which is near a large metropolitan area of one-half million people. The college-centered community is within easy driving distance of beautiful state parks, as well as large and medium-sized cities such as Columbus, Dayton, Springfield, Cincinnati and Xenia. The students find excellent opportunities for worship, practical Christian service, and employment in all of the communities in the area. History Cedarville College has a rich heritage. It was established by the Reform– ed Presbyterian Church and individuals who had a vital interest in spiritual welfare of young people. The college was chartered by the State of Ohio on January 26, 1887. During the early days, as now, Christian principles and conduct were stressed as indicated by the following quotation from a former president. "Above all, Cedarville College believes that culture of the mind without the nurture and growth of spiritual life is a mistake. Educa– tion without morality is a menace to the state ... accordingly the Bible is a textbook of the college." In 1953 the operation of the college was transferred to the Trustees of Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland with the goal of enlarging the institute's ministry. The name, Cedarville College, was retained. The college, now an approved school of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches, continues to perpetuate the original purpose of its founders. Under the direction of Dr. James T. Jeremiah, president since 1953, the college has experienced phenomenal growth. Since 1959 student enroll– ment has more than quintupled in size. Because of this sudden increase in enrollment, Cedarville College has been forced to greatly expand both its faculty and facilities. During this period of dramatic growth in students, faculty, and facilities, the objectives which have symbolized the college and its spirit through the years have been further strengthened. The tower of "Old Main" represents our link with the past, its foundations and traditions; the cedars symbolize life and growth. The Cedarville College family feels that this growth has brought us to the threshold of an even greater ministry as the college moves ahead with new faith and vision.
, J ( Admissions and Finances L Admission and Finances The Admissions Committee carefully considers all factors which demonstrate the applicant's ability to succeed at Cedarville College. The Committee bases its choice on the following: 1) The applicant's evidence of having been born again and having lived a consistent Christian life as indicated by his personal testimony and pastor's recommendation: 2) his academic record and rank in class as shown by his official transcripts; 3) and his scholastic ability as shown by the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT); 4) some stpdents whose high school records are less than satisfactory may be admitted on condi– tion or through the Educational Development Program which is described under Special Programs of Study. Transfer students and applicants who have been out of high school one year or more are not required to furnish ACT or SAT scores. The college does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin. Admission Procedure 1.

Request a transcript of credits and grades from the high school and/or college attended to be mailed to the Registrar. 5. Take the American College Test or the Scholastic Aptitude Test either in the junior or senior year. If possible, the ACT or SAT should be taken in the junior year so that the application may be submitted early in the senior year.

Readmission A student whose academic work has been interrupted for one quarter or more must apply for readmission. If he has been out of Cedarville College less than one year, a letter of request for readmission is needed at least two months before the beginning of the quarter in which he desires to matriculate. This letter should state his educational goal and reaffirm his
28 Cedarville College Christian commitment; it should also contain a brief summary of his current Christian service activities. If a student has been away from campus for more than one year the Admissions office will send the necessary forms to up-date the application file. If college level work has been completed elsewhere a transcript of such credits should be requested by the student. A student who has been readmitted, after one year away from Cedarville College, is expected to complete the graduation requirements as outlined in the catalog in current use at the time of reenrollment. Admission of Transfer Students A student who wishes to transfer to Cedarville should submit a transcript of all his credits to the Registrar for evaluation of credits and determination of status. All transfer students are required to attend New Student Orienta– tion. Transfer students in their freshman or sophomore year are expected to complete the same number of Biblical Education courses as continuing students. Juniors and seniors must complete at least one Biblical Educa– tion course each quarter of full-time residence. Courses will not be granted transfer credit if grades are less than "C." Credits from accredited colleges are fully transferable as long as they apply to the student's course of study.
