1978-1979 Academic Catalog

Adventure in Learning 1 the R.N., Cedarville College will grant a bachelor of arts degree in the major previ– ously selected. The majors most often selected in order of preference are psychol– ogy, 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 op– portunities only a Biblically-related college can ofter. 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 employ– ment 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 re– quired for those working in hospital supervision and professional nursing educa– tion. 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 second year at Cedarville for the necessary science background and the remaining four years at BBC. The entire first 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 concen– trate on professional training at the School of Nursing. Program information is available from BBC. Reserve Officer Training Corps Participation in the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) is available to Ce– darville College men and women.
