Cedarville College is a Baptist college of arts and sciences of approximately 1800 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 pattern of instruction at Cedarville College includes a basic program of general stu>f~es, including Biblical education, com– munications, humanities, physical education, science, mathema– tics, 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 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 education 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 of the world of ideas 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 opportunities for students to practice the skills of communication. 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. The natural beauty of the gentle, rolling countryside provides an excellent setting for personal growth. 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. 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 presi– dent. "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 ... accord– ingly, 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. The school motto, " ... for the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ," reflects this commitment. In 1959 student enrollment began to increase dramatically, and the college was able to expand both faculty and facilities. The six– ties and early seventies saw the college grow to l 000 students and over fifty faculty members. New buildings were added to meet the needs of this growth: additional residence halls, a new library in 1967, and a new science center in 1972. In 1976 as the nation cel– ebrated its bicentennial, the college celebrated the completion of a new 1800-seat chapel, named in honorofJames T. Jeremiah, col– lege president from 1953 to 1978. The fall of 198 l saw even greater growth: a student body of 1650 students, nearly 100 full– and part-time faculty, and the completion of the Athletic Center. The cornerstone of this new gymnasium-student center affirms the commitment of the college to quality Christian education: " ... commit thou to faithful men who shall be able to teach others also." 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. 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 ofEducation for the education and certification of both elementary and secondary teachers. The college holds membership in the North Central Associa– tion of Colleges and Schools. This recognition signifies that the college is accredited. The college also holds membership in the Ohio College Associ– ation, the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio, the National Association of Colleges and Universities, the Association of Christian Schools International, and the Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges.
The Cedarville College Academic Computer Center is de– signed to serve the entire academic community. Students and fac– ulty are encouraged to use the Center for research, writing, and coursework. The Center remains open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday to promote easy access and extensive use. Students may be assigned an account and password in any class using the system and may seek help from a full-time consul– tant during the day and student lab assistants on evenings or weekends. A "public" account has also been established for tem– porary use by students who may not be taking computer-related courses. Facilities: The Center features two terminal labs, one of which is reserved for advanced students and Software manuals are avail– able for ready reference as well as Cedarville's own "User's Guide" designed to acquaint the new student with Center rules, facilities, and resources. The Computer Center employs ten to fifteen student lab assis– tants each quarter. Applications are accepted from qualified can– didates at the beginning of each year and between terms as needed. Assistants gain experience in aiding other students as well as further developing their skills on the system. Periodic non-credit "short courses" or seminars are offered to students and faculty by Center in the use of statistical packages, word processing, and the VAX/VMS operating sys– tem. Programming courses are in the Business Administra– tion and Science and Mathematics Departments. Research methods courses are offered by the Communication Arts, Educa– tion, Psychology, and Social Science Departments. The Computer Center houses a VAX_ 111750 computer, RA80 disk and tape TU58 tape facility, 16 Digital VTIOI terminals, 4 QUME, and l Console terminal. Two Anadex printers are also available for student use. Other terminals are being placed in academic r11P·•vu-hr'n,.,..,.,.., Software presently includes FORTRAN, COBAL, BASIC, MINITAB statistical packages, computer games, and a number of computer assisted instruction for all academic discip– lines.
a multi-media resource center, houses over 100,000 volumes and provides over 900 current periodical sub– scriptions. In addition to these traditional library materials, other instructional materials such as recordings, tapes, videotapes, filmstrips, films, slides, and transparencies are available along with the necessary support equipment. The Media Production Center in the building aids students in the preparation of instruc– tional materials and produces classroom aids for faculty mem– bers. The Curriculum Materials Center in Williams Hall functions as a resource center for elementary and secondary education majors. Through an on-line computer network, OCLC, Inc. , the library has access to over 9,000,000 additional books and other library materials in over 3,000 libraries in all 50 states, Canada, and sev– eral foreign countries. The OCLC system is used at Cedarville to catalog all library materials, perform bibliographic operations, order catalog cards, maintain location information about library materials, arrange for interlibrary loans, and maintain records of periodical holdings.
The college program is designed to contribute to the develop– ment of the intellectual, spiritual, social, and physical maturity of students. Student life involves each of these areas and is consid– ered an integral part of the college learning experience. Cedarville College's commitment to the Bible as the final authority for faith and practice extends into every area of student life and leads to a conservative pattern of conduct. A variety of educational, social, cultural, recreational, and Christian service opportunities are available to Cedarville College students. Such out-of-class activities contribute to personal de– velopment and enrichment and also provide outlets from the demands and pressures of academic life. A full range of student services, including campus activities, career planning, counsel– ing, placement, financial aid, health, and housing, exist to sup– port these experiences and provide other services vital to student development. Before enrolling at Cedarville College, students must sign a statement signifying their willingness to adhere to the standards of conduct and regulations of the college. Students who do not coop– erate in maintaining these standards may be requested to with– draw. The standards also apply to conduct while at home or off the campus. Students will be expected to avoid behaviors and personal at– titudes of distrust, selfishness, damaging criticism, gossip, disre– spect, unethical conduct, or irreverance. Such behavior can bring much harm to this community of Christians. Profane, obscene, suggestive, or sacrilegious language is not becoming to a Christian in any setting. Pornographic, obscene, and suggestive material of any kind cannot be tolerated on a Christian college campus. Students are to abstain from participation in dancing, the use of playing cards, attendance at movie theaters, and membership in secret societies. Because of the college's doctrinal postion, the practice and/or promotion of those temporary apostolic gifts (re– ferred to in I Corinthians 12: 18 ,28) usua1ly associated with the charismatic movement is not tolerated. Students are not to attend or visit concerts, social events, business establishments, or other activities where the primary focus of the event or activity is in vio– lation of college policy. Students are expected to exercise discern– ment regarding their choice of music. Students found guilty of stealing and other acts of dishonesty, gambling, immorality, and the use of alcoholic beverages, to– bacco, and narcotic drugs for other than medicinal reasons, are subject to immediate dismissal, and such dismissal could be with– out benefit of refund. Freshmen are not permitted to bring motor vehicles to college during their first quarter. 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 new students. The Fall Bible Con– ference is also an important part of the first week of activity. Fall orientation programs may extend into the first quarter. 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 healthy spiritual life. All students are required to attend church services regularly. In addition to private devotions and weekly residence hall prayer meetings, student prayer groups meet at various times each week to pray for missions. Several days are designated each year as days of prayer.
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, missionaries, and other professionals serve as speakers for these programs. 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. Daily chapel services feature outstanding Christian speakers, such as Dr. Paul Brand, missionary surgeon and author.
Every student is encouraged to participate in some area of Christian ministry for at least two of the four years of the college program. It is the belief of the coH~ge 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. Op– portunities for service also occur in homes for orphans, homes for senior citizens, penal institutions, rescue missions, Bible clubs, and at a school for mentally retarded children. Many students are challenged by a campus visitation program which provides oppor– tunities for them to share their faith in Christ with their academic peers on other college campuses. During the school year, students travel with gospel teams, serving local churches throughout the Midwest. During the spring vacation, in addition to gospel teams, special teams work throughout the country in open-air evangelism, local church ministries, and church planting. Gospel teams also travel during the summer. The director of Christian ministries is responsible for the assignment of students who register for Christian service work. He coordinates Sunday services on campus, prayer meetings, travel– ing 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 Ministries Committee, composed of representa– tive staff members, faculty, and students, works with the director in defining the types of activities as well as establishing guidelines for the entire Christian ministries program. MIS provides unique opportunities for students to experience missions first-hand. Each year, particularly in the summer, nearly I00 students share the gospel around the globe through team and individual ministries. This involvement in missions aids mis– sionaries in their work and helps students discern God's direction in their own lives concerning career missionary service. Participants are expected to raise their own finantial and prayer support and report on their ministries. Some-students choose to earn academic credit for the experience. Details of the program are available from the Christian Ministries office.
Student Services personnel believe that residence hall living is an integral part of the educational process. An appropriate resi– dence hall environment contributes to academic achievement, an understanding of oneself, and development of interpersonal skills and appropriate attitudes toward others. Consequently, all single students under twenty-five years of age are required to live in col– lege residence halls or approved housing, except those commut– ing from the home of their parents or legal guardian. Housing assignments are made by the Student Services Office. Upperclassmen who have paid reservation fees are given priority for reserving rooms. New students are assigned rooms after they have been admitted and have submitted their reservation deposits. Complete information concerning residence hall staffing, fur– nishings, and policies is found in the Student Handbook which is sent to new students prior to their arrival on campus. A current listing of housing for married students is available in the Student Services Office. ,._,..UllilBllJ'ILI•LJ Activities The Office of Campus Activities is responsible for providing a program of cultural, social, educational, and recreational ac– tivities that is consistent with college educational and spiritual ob– jectives and, therefore, contributes to the personal de~elopment of college community members. An artist series provides con– certs, cultural programs, and musical specialists. Other activities include a variety of learning experiences and social events such as banquets, talent nights, all-school parties, interest trips, retreats, and many other activities that appeal to college-age youth. A full range of recreational and intramural sports for both men and women completes the integrative approach of Campus Activities.

Cedarville College invites applications from secondary school graduates who are able to present strong academic records and a clear testimony of faith in Jesus Christ. In selecting students, the Admissions Committee admits students for whom graduation is a reasonable expectation and who offer potential to contribute posi– tively to the college community. They carefully consider all fac– tors which demonstrate the applicant's ability to succeed at Cedarville College. Criteria for selection include: 1. Evidence of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a consistent, Christian lifestyle. 2. Academic record, recommendations, and rank in class. 3. Test scores from the American College Test (ACT). (Scores from the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) will be accepted. However, scores from the ACT are preferred. Transfer students and applicants who have been out of high school one year or more are not required to furnish these test scores.) The college does noti,discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin.~' Those applicants with the best prospects for admission have academic credentials which include a college preparatory secon– dary school curriculum, a grade average above a "C +,"a rank in the upper half of the class, and a test score on the ACT above the national average.
