The student must spend one year in a hospital internship program to become a certified medical technologist. Prerequisites to the hospital internship include: 24 hours of biology, 24 hours of chemistry, one mathematics course, and completion of all general education requirements. The student may do the internship during his/her senior year, with 48 hours of transfer credit applied to the biology major upon successful completion of the internship. Many students complete the requirements for a biology major first and then take the internship after graduation from Cedarville College. Preagriculture The preagriculture curriculum is designed to satisfy the technical/nontechnical requirements of the first two years of a typical agriculture program. Students should research agricultural schools to which they wish to transfer at the junior level so that application materials can be completed in advance of deadlines. The program includes one year of general requirements and a second year of agricultural science or agricultural business. Course requirements include core requirements and an emphasis in either agriculture business or agriculture science. Core requirements include: BEGE-171 The Christian Life ................ 4 BEGE-172 Introduction to Bible Study . . . . . . . . . 4 BI0-114 Biology ......................... 4 CHEM-151,152 General Chemistry I,II ......... 8 COM-110 Fundamentals of Speech ............ 5 ENG-110 English Composition I . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 ENG-140 English Composition II . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 GSCI-185 Precalculus ..................... 5 (or MATH-281 Analytic Geometry and Calculus 5) GSS-100 Foundations of Social Science . . . . . . . . . 5 HUM-140 Introduction to the Humanities ........ 5 The preagriculture student should confer with his advisor to select electives based upon: (a) requirements of the school to which he will transfer after leaving Cedarville College; (b) the specific agricultural program he wishes to enter. Environmental biology nu;jors study the intricate details ofplant life in courses like Pia/I/ Physiology.
