The student body and college administration joined together to raise funds for the ambulance used by the student-run Emergency Medical Service. The College offers a concentrated program for the student who desires a formal education in Bible before he pursues his vocation at home or engages in a field of technical study not available in a Christian school. It is designed so that a student can function as a more knowledgeable layman in his church. This curriculum is outlined in the Biblical Education section of the catalog. Late in summer, before the opening of the aca- demic year, the historians of the College conduct a study tour of historic Philadelphia and its environs. Students earn academic credit while tracing the steps of America's founding fathers to Independence Hall, Betsy Ross House, Valley Forge, and other sites. Information about this program may be obtained from the Department of Social Sciences and History. Many students seek specialized training in professions after attending Cedarville College. A number of preprofessional programs are available. The preseminary curriculum which prepares students for seminary studies and the gospel ministry is outlined in the Department of Biblical Education section of the catalog. The prelaw curriculum prepares students for law school and is explained in the Department of Social Sciences and History section of the catalog. Preprofessional curricula in dentistry, medical technol– ogy, medicine, optometry, osteopathy, pharmacy, physical therapy, and veterinary medicine are described in the Department of Science and Mathematics section of the catalog. A listing of graduate and professional schools at– tended by Cedarville graduates is available from the respective academic department chairmen or preprofessional advisors. ARRIBA, Academic Residency and Research Intern– ship for Baptists Abroad, is a work/study program sponsored by Grand Rapids Baptist College in coopera– tion with Baptist Mid-Missions. Cedarville students in any major may earn up to forty-five quarter hours credit in Spanish, sociology, biology, religion, mis– sions, cross-cultural studies, and general electives. Students involved in the program spend one year in the area of Quito, Ecuador, where classroom theory is integrated with practical application and experience in cultural studies, church planting, and alpine and rainforest studies, under the direction of experienced missionaries and college professors. Students inter– ested in the program should contact Dr. John Silvius for additional information. Cedarville College sponsors a travel study abroad program in which students study language and culture for five weeks. This intensive study program allows students to experience the culture, learn about the country, and improve language skills through studying, staying with families, attending church services, and visiting historical sites. The program is open to all students regardless of their foreign language backgrounds. Students with foreign language backgrounds who have satisfied the gradua– tion requirement in language can earn additional advanced credit in foreign language. Detailed information is available from the Director of Summer School and Continuing Education. Cedarville College cooperates with an institute in Israel to provide an experience of study and travel.
