Adventure in Learning 1n Cedarville College is a Baptist college of arts and sciences enrolling about 1250 students. A balanced liberal arts program is coupled with an evangelical, conserv– ative 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 concen– trated 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 pro– fessors 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 anx– ious to share and impart knowledge to all who are interested in this dynamic edu– cational 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 evidence of Christian commitment, direction and pur– pose. The pattern of instruction at Cedarville College includes a basic program of gen– eral studies including Biblical education, communication, humanities, physical ed– ucation, science, mathematics, and social science. In addition, each student will complete a major in the area of his interest. The usual pattern of educational expe– rience 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 understood also to be the beginning of a lifelong adventure in learning. All professions require constant read– ing 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 recog– nized 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 objec– tives: 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. 4. To enable the student to develop sound critical and analytical reasoning. 5. To provide sufficient opportunities for students to practice the skills of com– munication.
Cedarville College 6. To offer opportunities for academic specialization and preparation for grad– uate study, and to assist the student in selecting and preparing for a voca– tion. 7. To foster the student's appreciation of and participation in wholesome avo– cational and cultural activities. Recognition Certification and Accreditation Cedarville College is an approved school of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches. The College is a four-year degree granting institution chartered by the State of Ohio and certified by the Ohio Board of Regents. The College is approved by the State Department of Education for the education, training and certification of both elementary and secondary teachers. The College holds membership in the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. This recognition signifies that the College is fully accredited.

This program,
1 Cedarville College 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 emphasis on missions, Christian education, and the pastorate. Pastoral and missionary internships are available. One Year Bible Program The college offers a concentrated program for that student who wants a formal education in Bible before he pursues his vocation at home or before he engages in a field of technical study, not available in a Christian school. It is designed so that the student can function as a more knowledgeable layman in his local church. Internships Many of the major fields of study include opportunities to receive credit for su– pervised on-the-job activities. PreaMedicine and PreaDental The science program at the college lends itself very well for preparation for en– trance 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. Premlaw Cedarville's accredited liberal arts program provides excellent preparation for students entering law school. Because the practice of law deals with a broad spec– trum of society most law schools prefer that a student select courses from a num– ber of major areas.
Adventure in Learning 1 Independent Study As a result of the need for college students to develop a high degree of inde– pendence 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 fac– ulty 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 pro– ject, 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 ini– tial 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, al– though 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 writ– ten English. The EDP is the equivalent of a four credit hour course when evaluated on the basis of time, and work required. In addition to the specialized instruction, designed to greatly improve the stu– dent'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 reg– ular program normally scheduled by a full-time student.
1 Cedarville College Pre-Pharmacy A description of the pre-pharmacy program offered in cooperation with the Col– lege of Pharmacy at Ohio State University is described in the Science and Mathe– matics section of the catalog. Nursing Cedarville College offers two alternatives to students planning careers in nurs– ing. First, by working carefully with an academic advisor, the student can complete the required general education sequence and the courses required for certain ma– jors within two years. These students then transfer to institutions which offer pro– grams 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 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 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 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. Classes and drills are held at Central State Uni– versity which is approximately four miles from Cedarville. ROTC credits will be transferable to Cedarville College. Cedarville students who take ROTC/Military Science at Central State University must pay an enrollment fee of $15.00 plus $15.00 per hour as Ohio residents, and $30.00 per hour as non-residents. Therefore, Cedarville students are encouraged
Adventure in Learning 1 to enroll in the Two-Year Program which begins between their sophomore and jun– ior years of college. Veterans with more than six months of Active Duty service may, at the discretion of the Professor of Military Science, Central State University, receive credit for two years of ROTC and are allowed to enroll in the Advance Course, provided they meet all of the requirements for enrollment. The ROTC Program is normally a Four-Year Program. This program is normally taken in conjunction with other college subjects for the four years of college. How– ever, the two-year program allows the students to qualify for the Advanced Pro– gram (which pays the student $100 per month for 10 months each of the last two years of college), by completing six weeks of training between the junior and sen– ior years. Students who qualify for the program may qualify for a merit scholarship, which will pay all educational costs (tuition, books, registration, and etc.) at both schools, plus pay the student an additional $100 cash per month for 1Omonths each year the scholarship is in effect. For more information visit, write, or call the Professor of Military Science at Central State University. The address is: Professor of Military Science, Central State University, Wilberforce, Ohio 45384, phone number: (513) 376-761817619. 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 offered in France, England, Germany and Spain. Ce– darville cooperates in this program with other Christian colleges. SAPOCC is a unique experience for Christian young people because it provides them with Chris– tian living, fellowship, and Christian service opportunities in the foreign country as well as an excellent academic program. Institute of Holy Land Studies Excellent opportunities are available to students who may desire a special edu– cational experience in Israel during the summer months. Information may be ob– tained from the chairman of the Biblical Education Department. Credits received are applicable to the student's academic program at Cedarville.
1 Cedarville College Correspondence Study Although correspondence study seldom can replace the experiences gained through the actual classroom instruction and discussion, it is recognized that oc– casional utilization of correspondence study is necessary. The total number of quarter hours of correspondence study accepted toward completion of degree requirements shall not exceed fifteen. In order for corre– spondence study to be acceptable, prior permission must have been received for each course from the instructor of the course 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 com– munity 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, independent studies, and one hour courses in physical education and music. 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 3.0 - 3.49 - four courses 2.5- 2.99- two 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 no 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 pass– ing the appropriate examinations with a grade of "B" or better. Students interested in testing out must have department chairman approval. Tests can be taken during registration week or during the first two full calendar weeks of classes. The student
Adventure in Learning 1 will be granted hourly credit but will not be given a grade on the transcript. Stu– dents 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 $20.00 per hour fee if the student successfully passes the examination.
1 Cedarville College Student Life The college program is designed to provide opportunities for students to develop balanced lives. The fundamental Biblical position establishes a conservative pat– tern 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 and cultural experiences 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 addi– tional opportunities for enrichment. Some of these groups sponsor banquets, con– certs, and other forms of cultural enjoyment. Our scenic 180-acre campus pro– vides 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 estab– lished 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, the 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 pro– motion 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 pas– tors, educators, evangelists, and missionaries serve as speakers for these pro– grams. Praise, prayer, worship, and practical Christian work are stressed. The Fall Bible Conference, The Distinguished Christian Scholar Lecture Program, The Mis– sionary Conference and the Spring Enrichment Week are week-long features of the chapel program. New Student Orientation Immediately prior to the beginning of each quarter new students participate in an orientation program designed to facilitate adjustments to their new surround– ings and provide an opportunity for course selection and program planning with
Student Life 19 the assistance of an assigned faculty adviser. The fall program includes an orienta– tion session for parents. During this period several appraisal instruments are ad– ministered to all new students. These tests must be taken before a new student is considered registered. The fall Bible Conference is an important part of the first week of activity. Devotional In addition to private devotions and weekly residence hall prayer meetings, stu– dent 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 insti– tutions, rescue missions, children's meetings in private homes and at a school for mentally retarded children. There are Swordbearers and gospel teams and com– munity canvassing as well as Summer Missionary Internship programs. Many stu– dents are challenged by a campus visitation program in which there is an opportu– nity to share their faith in Christ with their academic peers on other college campuses. During Spring break there are Swordbearers Spring tours and Beach Evangelism in Florida. Several Gospel teams, also travel during the summer for the college. The Director of Christian Service is responsible for the assignment of students who register for Christian service work. He is also responsible for Sunday services on campus, prayer meetings, pastoral counseling, Swordbearers teams, and all other traveling teams. Records are kept of all Christian Service activities and a per– manent file is maintained for 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. Missionary Internship Service The primary objective of MIS is to give those interested in missions 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. To give opportunities of missionary service to interested and burdened fac– ulty, alumni, and students and provide a spiritually meaningiul and fruitful experi– ence to each intern. 2. To provide an organized contact with missionaries and mission boards; to as– sist each intern to understand missions and related work. 3. To provide leadership in setting up and controlling missionary internships. 4. To add a universal dimension to the educational process of Cedarville Col– lege; to create within the individual a burden for lost souls throughout the world.
20 Cedarville College 5. To provide Christian service outlets for the College Fellowship and world mis– sion organization. 6. To further develop the skills needed in reaching the lost for Christ. 7. To provide assistance to missionaries during short-term service. Student Publications Students have the primary responsibility for the publication of the college year– book, The Miracle, and the college newspaper, Cedars. A faculty-student committee provides direction and advice. Students interested in staff positions may apply to the editors.

Student Life Location The natural beauty of the gentle rolling countryside provides an excellent set– ting. Cedarville College is conveniently located in the rural community of Cedar– ville, 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 Reformed Pres– byterian 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. Education 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. In 1959 student enrollment began to increase dramatically, and the college was able to expand both faculty and facilities. During this period of dramatic growth, 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 thresh– old of an even greater ministry as the college moves with new faith and vision.
