1982-1983 Academic Catalog

24 Academic Information The Cedarville College program is designed to meet the educa– tional, moral, physical, social, and spiritual needs of young people who desire to honor God with their lives. The total pro– gram represents a balance between the knowledge gained through the courses studied, the co-curricular activities, a,nd worship in the regular chapel and church services. In such a setting, truth from Scripture is 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. Major Field The amount of work for a typical major field is usually about 50 quarter hours and must include the requirements of the depart– ment. Comprehensive majors are typically from 70 to 90 hours. Specific requirements are listed at the beginning of department course offerings. No courses in which "D" grades are received may be counted as meeting the requirements of the major field. Often departments will suggest that an alternate course be taken rather than repeating the course.
