1993-1994 Academic Catalog

The Cedarville College program is designed to meet the educational, moral, physical, social, and spiritual needs of young people who desire to honor God with their lives. The total program represents a balance between the knowledge gained through the courses studied, the co-curricular activities, and 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 students an excellent background for professional competence in their chosen fields. College grants five baccalaureate degrees and one associate degree: Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Music Education (B.M.E.), Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (B. S. E. E.), Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (B. S.M. E.), Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.), and Associ– ate of Arts in Office Technology (A.A.). A degree candidate should carefully study the require– ments for that degree as well as the special require– ments for graduation found in this bulletin.

Major The amount of work for a typical major field approxi– mates 50 quarter hours and must include the require– ments of the department. Comprehensive majors are typically from 70 to 90 hours. Specific requirements are listed at the beginning of department course offer– ings. No courses in which "D" grades are received may be counted as meeting the requirements of the major field . Department chairpersons may suggest that an alternate course be taken rather than repeating the course. In order to graduate, a student must satisfy the requirements for at least one major field of study. With proper scheduling, he or she may concurrently complete the requirements for more than one major. Majors involving fewer than sixty quarter hours of course work lend themselves to this approach. Little compares with the excitement of completing a college education at Cedarville.
