I believe that you will be particularly impressed with the people who make up Cedarville College.

They will demonstrate a sincere concern for your growth– intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

Our focus is on the continuing process of updating our physical plant to better serve the academic and auxiliary programs we offer to our students. Ground has been broken for the 148,000 square foot Student Life Center, which is scheduled to open in the fall of 2000. The Center will include space for an expanded College dining hall, a fully-equipped drama theatre, a snack shop, student lounges, and student services offices. A new donnitmy will welcome students in the fall of 1999, and plans are underway for a new fitness and recreation facility. These essential facilities will join a campus of new or recently renovated stmctures. In 1998, the former chapel building was retrofitted into a Technology Resource Center, which houses computer laboratories, distance learning, and commuter lounges. The Dixon Ministry Center, opened in late 1996, is the center of campus life, with the entire College family gathering daily in its 3,400-seat Jeremiah Chapel for stirring Bible messages, singing, and prayer. Other buildings include the 100,000 square foot Engineering/Nursing/Science Center, opened in 1992, and the Centennial Library, dedicated in 1987. For 112 years Cedarville College has offered Christian higher education consistent with biblical truth. We stand ready to help prepare you to serve our unchanging Christ into the next millenium.
