International Study Opportunities Students are encouraged to take advantage of a semester-long or yearlong program at one of Cedarville’s satellite campuses or to participate in one of our own special summer programs.

Semester/Year programs are open to all students who meet the specific program requirements. The Cedarville summer study programs are open to all students. Advanced planning is highly recommended. For additional information and help with planning, contact International Programs at cedarville.edu/internationalprograms .

Cedarville University D.C. Semester cedarville.edu/dcsemester During fall semesters, students can participate in our own program in Washington, D.C.

Students are housed at the Heritage Foundation and courses are taught by a Cedarville professor who lives in D.C. for the semester. The program is directed by Dr. Mark Smith and the Center for Political Studies. Summer Geology of National Parks Cedarville professor Dr. John Whitmore teaches a hands- on geology course in one of the national parks. The course fulfills Cedarville’s general education physical science course requirement. Dr. Whitmore serves on the board of Creation Research Science Education Foundation (Columbus, Ohio). He is also a member of the Creation Research Society and the Geological Society of America. Summer International Business / International Management The School of Business Administration offers two courses (BUS-3910 International Business and MGMT-3570 International Management) in a study abroad setting from mid May to early June. Students gain experience within international companies while taking one or both of these courses. Previous locations have been China, Ireland, Spain, and Japan. Cedarville Summer Abroad Programs International Programs is continually working with professors who desire to teach a specialized course abroad. Each summer there are opportunities for students to take general education and upper-level courses abroad with our own professors. These courses are ideal for students whose majors do not have the flexibility of a semester abroad. Locations vary each summer but usually are in one or two of the following locations: • China • France • Germany • Greece • Ireland • Israel • Oxford • Spain Cedarville has cooperating agreements with the following groups/programs. Opportunities to study abroad or in the U.S. are available in more than 40 countries and 118 locations through these agreements.

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. Students interested in this program should contact Dr. Brenda MacKay.
