1995-1996 Academic Catalog

Major Field The amount of work for a typical major field approxi– mates 50 quarter hours and must include the requirements of the department. Comprehensive majors are typically from 70 to 90 hours. Specific requirements are listed at the beginning of department course offerings. 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 require– ments 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. Special Academic Programs Cedarville offers several special programs designed to enhance the collegiate experience and/or to help prepare for particular careers: EmergencyMedical Technician Training Environmental Studies Honors Medical Technology One-year Bible Certificate Premedical/predental Prepharmacy Preveterinary Prephysical therapy ROTC - Army and Air Force Secondary Education (17 areas of certification) Office Technology (A.A. degree) Special Education Study Abroad Programs TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) Descriptions of these programs are located in this section of the catalog or in the academic departments sponsoring the programs. Electives The provision of elective choice is based upon the premise that the student should have an opportunity to either further strengthen his major field or minor field or further broaden his background by selecting courses in areas of inadequacy or interest. Elective choice also provides the student with some flexibility should he or she decide to change major fields. Academic Major Fields of Study The College offers forty-eight major fields of study. Some of the majors represent combinations of two or more areas of study. These are denoted with an asterisk (*). Course requirements for each of the majors are outlined in the respective departmental sections of the catalog.
