CCTECC Student Teaching Abroad Program CCTECC is the Christian Coalition Teacher Education Coordinating Council, which is made up of Christian colleges from around the U.S. Since the late 1980s, this organization has been helping its member institutions place quality student teachers in quality schools on every continent except Antarctica. Cedarville students have taught in over 20 different countries. Literally speaking, the sun never sets on Cedarville student teachers. Students apply for this program early in their junior year. Only those with a good academic record, strong character, and spiritual and professional performance references are allowed to go overseas. Only schools and cooperating teachers who meet Cedarville’s standards and the requirements of the Ohio Department of Education participate with us. CCTECC helps ensure that students are placed in environments that are safe and nurturing both personally and spiritually.

This 10 week program takes place in key locations in the major political and economic centers of Scandinavia, Russia, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and the United Kingdom. It is only open to students during the summer after completing their junior year. Currently students receive credit for the following Cedarville courses: ECON-3350, ECON-3360, MRKT-4620, and MGMT- 3570. Summer Terms The University offers two three-week summer terms. One is in May, and one begins in June. Students can earn up to six credits in either session. The summer sessions appeal to a variety of students. Some wish to accelerate their college program. Students from other institutions may desire Bible courses that are not available at their institutions. Teachers find the summer terms a convenient means by which to update themselves in their disciplines. Others enjoy the advantages of smaller summer classes. Incoming international students recognize summer attendance as an excellent opportunity to become acclimated to academic pursuits before campus activities begin in the fall. High school students who have completed their junior year and who display sufficient academic strength may enroll in the summer studies program. Eligible children of graduates of the University may qualify for the popular alumni children scholarship program that provides reduced-tuition credit. Continuing students interested in attending summer school should contact the summer school office. New students should contact the admissions office.

Early registration periods may be designated for currently enrolled students. During early registration, the University allows students to register for courses for the upcoming academic term. Students register for courses by academic classification and are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this early registration opportunity, rather than registering after the start of an academic term. Students who register early for a term but do not return the following semester must notify the office of the registrar of their change in status. The beautiful 400-acre campus of Cedarville University offers many quiet places to study.
