5 Adventure in Learning Cedarville College is a Baptist college of arts and sciences of approximately 1550 students. A balanced liberal arts program is coupled with a fundamentalist, conservative theological position in regard to doctrine and patterns of conduct. In keeping with the liberal arts concept, the curriculum provides for a broad back– ground 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 with his or her 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 are 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 dy– namic educational adventure. Personal development also will re– sult if the student's goals and moral philosophy are clearly de– fined. Great profit can come from exploring new fields of knowl– edge if there is evidence of Christian commitment, direction and purpose. The pattern of instruction at Cedarville College includes a basic program of general studies, including Biblical education, com– munications, humanities, physical education, science, mathe– matics, and social science. In addition, each student completes a major in the area of his or her interest. The usual pattern of educa– tional experience involves the pursuit of general studies during the first two years in college, followed by completion of the re– quirements for the major which is closely related to career goals. Although the years at Cedarville College represent a concen– trated educational experience in pursuit of the baccalaureate de– gree, they should also be the beginning of a lifelong adventure in
6 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. The Christian college graduate is often 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 stu– dent achieve these goals. The money and effort invested in educa– tion at Cedarville can pay high dividends throughout life. The purpose of Cedarville College is to offer its students an ed– ucation consistent with Biblical truth. To achieve this purpose the college seeks to accomplish the fol– lowing 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 to help the student accept his responsibility in faithful Christian service. 3. To increase the student's awareness ofthe world ofideas and events which are influencing our contemporary culture and to prepare the student to knowledgeably participate in our soci– ety. 4. To enable the student to develop sound critical and analytical reasoning. 5. To provide sufficient opportunitiesfor students to practice the skills ofcommunication. 6. To offer opportunities for academic specialization and prepa– ration for graduate study, and to assist the student in selecting and preparing for a vocation. 7. To foster the student's appreciation of, and participation in, wholesome avocational and cultural activities. Location The natural beauty of the gentle, rolling countryside provides an excellent 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-cen– tered community is within easy driving distance of beautiful state parks, as well as large and medium-sized cities such as Colum– bus, 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 Presbyterian Church and individuals who had a vital in– terest in the 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 mis– take. Education without morality is a menace to the state ... ac– cordingly, the Bible is the textbook of the college." In 1953 the operation of the college was transferred to the Trus– tees of Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland with the goal of enlarg– ing the institute's ministry. The name, Cedarville College, was retained. The college, now an approved school of the General As– sociation 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 sym– bolized the college and its spirit through the years have been 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 col– lege moves forward with new faith and vision.
7 Recognition, Certification, and Accreditation Cedarville College is an institution of higher learning approved by 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 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 col– lege is fully accredited. The college also holds membership in the Ohio College Associ– ation, the Council for the Advancement of Small Colleges, and the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio.

This pro– gram, taught by exceptionally qualified faculty members of the Biblical Education Department, lends itself to preparation for ser– vice 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 the student who desires a formal education in Bible before he pursues his vocation at home or 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. This curricu– lum is outlined in the Biblical Education section of the catalog. Internships Many of the major fields of study include opportunitites to re– ceive credit for supervised, on-the-job activities. Interested stu– dents should contact respective department chairmen for details. Independent Study As a result of the need for college students to develop a high de– gree of independence in their ability to choose and investigate problems, a special program in independent study has been organ– ized. The objectives of the program include the provision for stu– dents 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 special– ized projects. It is a college objective to encourage student travel to foreign countries. Credit may be earned for such experience under the In– dependent Study Program. 11 Although the individual students and faculty members are to work together on the development of criteria for successful com– pletion of an independent study project, the following rules serve as guiding principles in the operation of the program: 1. No student may enroll for more than one independent study project during the same term. 2. Hours granted for anyone 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 count– ed 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 depart– ment chairman and the academic dean. 5. Juniors and seniors are eligible for independent study. Sopho– mores may be considered to be eligible if they also have the ap– proval of the academic dean and department chairman. 6. Grade point average shall not be a qualificatior:i for independ– ent study, although the faculty member has the right to deny student participation for any reason the faculty member deems appropriate. 7. The grades of CrediUNo Credit may be used, as well as the regular grades, at the discretion of the participating faculty member. Preprofessional Programs Pre-engineering Cedarville offers a recognized pre-engineering program which provides quality instruction in the first two years of a normal engi– neering curriculum. Details of this curriculum can be found in the Science and Mathematics section of the catalog. Premedicine and Predental The science program at the college lends itself very well to
12 preparation for entrance into medical schools. The recent con– struction of a new science building plus a well-qualified faculty in the sciences and mathematics enable the student to face the en– trance tests with confidence. In the past three years over 80% of Cedarville students who have applied to medical schools have been admitted. Students should examine catalogs from profes– sional schools for specific requirements. Prepharmacy The prepharmacy program offered in cooperation with Ohio universities is described in the Science and Mathematics section of the catalog. Nursing Cedarville College offers two alternatives to students planning a career in nursing. First, by working carefully with an academic advisor, the stu– dent can complete the required general education sequence and the courses required 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, a,nd speech. Science majors are chosen less often due to level of diffi– culty and the number of requirements. Second, those who already have the R.N. may enroll at Cedar– ville and within two years complete the general education require– ments 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 profes– sional 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 on– ly 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 obtain employment in area hospitals while enrolled in Cedarville, and there are some possibilities for employment in the college health center. The degree granted in the previously described nursing pro– gram 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 its 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-these– cond 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 sum– mer 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. As of this writing, the college is seeking approval for the intro– duction of a four-year nursing program leading to the bachelor of science in nursing. Complete details of this program will be avail– able in June of 1981.
Prelaw Cedarville's accredited liberal arts program provides excellent preparation for students entering law school. A desc~·iption of t~e prelaw major offered by the college may be found m the Social Science section of the catalog. Reserve Officer Training Corps Army. Reserve Officer Training Corps instruction leading to an appointment as a lieutenant in the United States Army is available to Cedarville College students. Classes and drills are held at Cen– tral State University, located approximately four miles from Ce– darville. All ROTC courses are transferred as electives and are taken in conjunction with other subjects for the four years of col– lege. Cedarville College students who enroll in ROTC/Military Science courses at Central State University must pay an enroll– ment fee of $15 per hour as Ohio residents and $30 per hour as non-residents. The standard four-year ROTC program involves two phases: the Basic Course during the first two years, and the Advanced Course during the final two years. One can qualify for the Ad– vanced Course by being a veteran, a member of the United States Army Reserve or National Guard, or by attending six weeks of summer training following his sophomore year of college. Stu– dents enrolled in the Advanced Course earn $100 per month for a maximum of ten school months per year. Two-, three-, and four-year merit scholarships which pay for all tuition, fees, and costs of books and supplies at both colleges are available. Recipients of these scholarships also receive $100 per month for the ten months of the school year each school year the scholarship is in effect. Interested individuals should contact the Professor of Military Science, Central State University, Wilberforce, Ohio 45384, phone: (513) 376-6279. (Students interested in the four-year scholarship must make application during their senior year of high school.) Air Force. Cedarville College cooperates with Wright State University in offering Reserve Officer Training Corps instruction which prepares students for commissioning as second lieutenants in the United States Air Force. The classes in aerospace studies are held on the campus of Wright State University, loc~ted ap– proximately fifteen miles from Cedarville, and are taken m add113 tion to a normal course of study at Cedarville. The four-year program is divided into two phases: the General· Military Course involving the freshman and sophomore years, and the Professional Officer Course involving the junior and se– nior years. Students enrolled in the Professional Officer Course receive $100 per month subsistence allowance. Scholarships paying for the cost of tuition, fees, textbooks and a $100 monthly allowance are available to students who demon– strate academic and leadership potential. Students interested in Air Force ROTC should contact Major Jerry Vance, Department of Aerospace Studies, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio, 45435, phone: (513) 873-2730. Reading Program The college offers a noncredit course for all students wishing to improve reading skills and therefore increase the productivity and pleasure of college work. This course includes a broad range of techniques designed to increase reading speed, improve comprehension, and strengthen recall. Participants pay a modest tuition for this four-week pro– gram. Study Abroad Program of Christian Colleges (SAPOCC) Students planning intensified study in languages are encour– aged to participate in SAPOCC sponsored by King'~ College, Briarcliff Manor, New York. Programs are offered m France, England, Germany, and Spain. Cedarville cooperates in this pro– gram with other Christian colleges. SAPO~C is ~unique expe– rience for Christian young people because 1t provides them with Christian living, fellowship, and Christian service opportunities in the foreign country as well as an opportunity for academic development. Holy Land Studies Excellent opportunities through the American Institute of Holy Land Studies and the Baptists for Israel Institute are available to students who desire a special educational experience in Israel dur– ing the summer months. Information may be obtained from the chairman of the Biblical Education Department. Credits received are applicable to the students' academic programs at Cedarville.
14 Correspondence Study Although correspondence study cannot replace the experience gained through the actual classroom instruction and discussion, occasional utilization of correspondence.study may be approp– riate. The total number of quarter hours of correspondence study ac– cepted toward completion of degree requirements shall not ex– ceed fifteen. In order for correspondence 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 academic dean. Correspondence study is not counted as resi– dence credit, and therefore cannot be counted toward the resi– dence requirements. Permission forms are available in the Aca– demic Records Office. Credits received for correspondence study are treated in the same manner as transfer credits. Summer School The school offers two summer terms of five weeks each from June through mid-August. A student may earn up to ten quarter hours each term. Chapel is held daily and attendance is required. The summer sessions can appeal to a variety of students. Some wish to accelerate their college program. Other students from oth– er institutions may desire Bible courses which are not available at their institutions. Teachers find the summer terms convenient as a means by which to update themselves in their disciplines. Others enjoy the advantages of smaller summer classes. Incoming fresh– men recognize summer attendance as an excellent opportunity to become acclimated to academic pursuits before campus activities begin in the fall. High school students who have completed their junior year and who display sufficient academic strength may want to consider the summer program. The following courses are typical offerings during the summer: Biblical Education Four Gospels, New Testament Survey, Baptist History, Mis– sions Survey, Inductive Method of Bible Study Business Administration Principles of Economics, Principles of Organization and Man– agement, Principles of Accounting. Education Introduction to Education, Principles of Education, Methods of Teaching, Measurement and Evaluation, Mathematics for Ele– mentary Teachers Language and Literature Grammar and Syntax, Early American Literature, Early En– glish Literature, Nineteenth Century English Literature, World Literature, Mythology. Music Man and the Arts Physical Education Tennis, Golf Psychology General Psychology, Educational Psychology, Human Growth and Development Science and Mathematics Principles of Biology, Introduction to Mathematics, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Introduction to Physical Science Speech Fundamentals of Speech, Seminar in Christian Broadcasting Social Science United States History, Foundations of Social Science, World Geography Interested students should contact the director of admissions. Those students seeking financial aid should contact the director of financial aid.
16 Student Life The college program is designed to provide opportunities for students to develop balanced lives. Our commitment to the au– thority of the Bible requires a conservative pattern for all activities and conduct. Students gain excellent practical experience in Christian service as they participate in musical groups; teach Sun– day School classes; conduct hospital, mission, and jail services; teach Bible clubs; and serve on gospel teams. Involvement in the social, cultural leadership experiences at Cedarville contributes to personal development- and also provides outlets from the demands and pressures of academic life. 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 spacious 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 or she must sign a statement signifying his willingness to adhere to the standards and regulations of the college. Students who do not co– operate 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, the use of alcoholic beverages, the nonmedical use of drugs, the use of cards which are employed in gambling, engaging in dancing, attendance at movie theaters, membership in secret societies, excessive use of cosmetics, and the wearing of extreme fashions. Students will be expected to ex– ercise discernment regarding their choice of music. Rules regard– ing these matters will be enforced strictly. Students are urged to set aside a definite period each day for pri– vate devotions. Regular attendance at student prayer meetings aids the student in maintaining a healthful spiritual life. All stu– dents 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 at– tend. Faculty members, visiting pastors, educators, evangelists, professionals and missionaries serve as speakers for these pro– grams. Praise, prayer, worship, and practical Christian work are stressed. The Fall Bible Conference, The Staley Distinguished Christian Scholar Lecture Program, The Missionary 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 stu– dents participate in an orientation program designed to facilitate adjustments to their new surroundings and provide an opportunity for course selection and program planning with the assistance of an assigned faculty advisor. The fall program includes an orienta– tion session for parents. During this period several appraisal in– struments are administered to all new students. These tests must be taken before a new student is considered registered. The Fall Bible Conference is also an important pati of the first week of ac– tivity. Devotional In addition to private devotions and weekly residence hall pray– er meetings, student prayer groups meet at various times each week to pray for missions. Several 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, Sunday school teaching and preaching. Opportunities for service occur in homes for orphans, homes for senior citizens, penal institutions, rescue missions, Bible clubs and at a school for mentally retarded children. Many stu– dents are challenged by a campus visitation program which pro– vides opportunities for them to share their faith in Christ with their academic peers on other college campuses. Students travel with gospel teams, serving local churches throughout the Midwest. During the spring vacation three Swordbearer teams, the Concert Chorale, Brass Choir, and Master's Puppets travel to minister in local churches. In addition, "open-air" evangelism occurs through the ministry of students in Texas, New York City and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Several gospel teams also travel during the summer. The director of Christian service is responsible for the assign– ment of students who register for Christian service work. He coor– dinates Sunday services on campus, prayer meetings, traveling teams and all outreach ministries, and is available for pastoral counseling. Records are kept of all Christian service activities and a permanent file is maintained for each student. The Christian Service Committee, composed of representative staff members, 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 mis– sions 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 concerned faculty, alumni, and students and provide a spirit– ually meaningful and fruitful experience to each intern. 2. To provide an organized contact with missionaries and mis17 sion boards; to assist each intern to understand missions and related work. 3.
