1990-1991 Academic Catalog

"/chose Cedarville because I wanted a college with high academic standards that treated me as an adult, not a child. I particularly enjoy the Honors Program because it integrates all of the disciplines and touches every point oflife. The classes, particularly the discussions, have really challenged me to go above and beyond what I might have ordinarily done. And the professors are ve1y accessible, to talk about both classes andpersonal needs." A manage– ment/international business majorfrom Toledo, Ohio, Honors student Leigh Ann Rogge is spending herjunior year abroad developing her language skills at the University ofGrenoble in France. Interdisciplinary programs at the College are designed to encourage the thinking, research, and applications that help students understand the inter– relationships among disciplines that are characteristic of a true liberal arts education. Drawing from several academic disciplines, these programs pro– mote learning that broadens and deepens students' view of knowledge and the world as a whole. Students who choose interdisciplinary programs typically possess a unique love for learning. They desire to know about many areas and enjoy discov– ering the relationships between the various academic disciplines which comprise the body of knowledge. Though most college preparatory curric– ula provide a good measure of breadth through their coverage of the basic disciplines, students interested in interdisciplinary programs should choose electives which both sharpen their thinking skills and expand their in– tellectual horizons. Advanced high school courses in writing, literature, mathematics, science, economics, world history, or social science are recommended. Although background in foreign language is not required for admission to the programs, foreign language competency is necessary for effective international service. Consequently, two or more units of foreign language in high school is strongly recommended. The College offers the following interdisciplinary programs: The Honors Program International Studies major, with concentrations in: Global Economics and International Business Social Science
