2007-2008 Academic Catalog

School of Biblical and Theological Studies Biblical Education 36 Cedarville University 2006-077 8 Biblical Education Bible Teacher Education The Bible teacher education major is designed for students anticipating teaching Bible primarily in a Christian school. The major provides a unique combination of content from Bible courses and pedagogy from education courses to manage a classroom and teach the Bible effectively. The Bible content portion of the program is modeled after the preseminary major with the exception of the requirement of Greek. Thus, a student could easily use this program as the foundation for further graduate study in seminary. This program would also lay the foundation for a person who, after having gained some experience in teaching, chooses to pursue a master’s degree in education. The Association of Christian Schools International also approved Cedarville to offer ACSI certification in integrated bible for this major.
