1997-1998 Academic Catalog

A Word From Our President, Dr. Paul Dixon Thank you for your interest in Cedarville College! This catalog is designed to answer many of the ques– tions you may have about us. Please read it carefully. I also invite you to visit our campus to see for yourself why Cedarville College is such a popular college among committed Christian young people today. We would love to have you join us and prepare for your life's career and ministry in this dynamic learning environment. Christians have countless opportunities to serve Christ through business, medicine, law, engineering, education, the pastorate, missions, public office, counseling, and many other professions. At Cedarville, we strive to challenge you to be both a committed Christian and a competent professional so that you can make a difference in this world for Jesus Christ. I believe that you will be particularly impressed with the people who make up Cedarville College. Our faculty, staff, and administrators are here to teach you and to serve you in many different roles and also to encourage you to grow in Christ. They will demonstrate a sincere concern for your growth-intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. You will make lifelong friends during the time you are here, and you will find we really are family. Cedarville's education combines the personal attention of godly faculty with a high-tech environment that commands national attention. You will be able to log on to CedarNet, our campus-wide computer network, from any dormitory room and several labs. CedarNet will connect you to professors, other students, and a multitude of software programs to enhance your Cedarville educa– tion. It will also provide your connection to OhioLINK, a statewide system that provides direct borrowing from 51 college and university libraries and 25 million vol– umes. Your reach will extend around the world as you access computers in educational institutions, research facilities, and businesses through the Internet and World Wide Web. As the Lord enables, we will continue to build or renovate buildings which will add to your learning experience. Over 95% of our academic space has been constructed or renovated within the past 10 years. Several new residence halls have also been completed recently, and other dormitories have undergone signifi– cant renovations. This year we are excited about the completion of the Dixon Ministry Center. At 120,000 square feet, the building is Cedarville' s largest structure, and is situated prominently near the center of campus. The Ministry Center houses the 3,400-seat Jeremiah Chapel (expand– able to 4,000 seats), the Reese Center for Christian Ministries, and the Bolthouse Center for Music. It provides tangible evidence of our commitment to the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. The 100,000 square-foot Engineering/Nursing/Science Center has been in use since the 1992-93 school year. Most of our students have some classes in this state-of– the-art facility. Other buildings completed in recent years include the Centennial Library and the George S. Milner Business AdministrationBuilding. For 110 years Cedarville College has offered Christian higher education consistent with biblical truth. We stand ready to help prepare you to serve our unchanging Christ in a rapidly changing world-in this decade and on into the 21st century.
