AWord From Our President 1,000 days. That’s the approximate amount of time you’ll spend on campus as a student at Cedarville University. Because Scripture tells us to make “the best use of the time,” every aspect of your Cedarville experience has been strategically and intentionally shaped to prepare you for godly service and vocational distinction — wherever God might call you. As you’ll find in our catalog and in your time here in the cornfields, everything we do is driven by our mission — to be a place that transforms lives through excellent education and intentional discipleship in submission to biblical authority. It’s because of this mission that we have in place what’s known as the Cedarville distinctives — chapel five days a week, a Bible minor for every undergraduate student, faculty and staff who all yearly affirm our doctrinal statement, a biblical worldview taught in every class, and a culture of discipleship in every aspect of campus life. Altogether, our hope is that throughout your 1,000 days at Cedarville, and on the day you walk across the stage to receive your diploma, you’ll be men and women who love God and others, live with integrity, and pursue excellence in all that you do. 1,000 days. It sounds like a long time. It’ll be gone before you know it. So, make the best use of this special time in your lives as we strive together to stand for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ. In Christ, Thomas White, Ph.D. President, Cedarville University History Cedarville College was established in 1887 by five godly men who envisioned a college that would provide Christian higher education. Affiliated with the Reformed Presbyterian Church, the College built its first building, Old Main (now called Founders Hall), in 1895. The turbulence of the first 50 years of the 20th century led to hard times for the College. By the end of World War II, the Board of Trustees realized that enrollment could not support expenses, but, as God would ordain it, the Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland, Ohio, was seeking to expand. That institution’s Board of Trustees became convinced Cedarville was the place God had chosen. By mutual agreement of both trustee boards, ownership of the College transferred in 1953, and Cedarville became a Baptist college of arts and sciences. Dr. James T. Jeremiah was called as president. By 1959, Cedarville’s enrollment had grown to 255. Six years later, the student body nearly tripled to 763. By the end of Jeremiah’s 25-year tenure as president in 1978, enrollment had grown to more than 1,200 students. That same year, Dr. Paul Dixon was called to lead Cedarville. In 2002, the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to change from Cedarville College to Cedarville University. This move better communicated Cedarville’s expanded academic offerings, graduate studies, institutional organization, and increased national and international presence. By the end of Dixon’s 25-year tenure as president in 2003, the student body had grown to more than 3,000 students. Under his leadership, Cedarville added nursing and engineering majors and constructed the Dixon Ministry Center and the Stevens Student Center. In 2003, Dr. Bill Brown became the next president of Cedarville University. Under Brown’s leadership, Cedarville built the Center for Biblical and Theological Studies and Health Sciences Center and launched four new graduate programs. In 2013, Dr. Thomas White became the 10th president of Cedarville University. Under his leadership, the University embarked on an extensive renovation of the Jeremiah Chapel, built new science laboratories, established two additional graduate programs, founded the Center for Biblical Apologetics and Public Christianity, and launched a 10-year master-planning process. Profile Home to 4,193 Christian students, Cedarville University is an accredited, Christ-centered, Baptist university of arts, sciences, professional, and graduate programs located in southwest Ohio. Since its founding in 1887, Cedarville has maintained its commitment to biblical truth and academic excellence to equip students for academic success, professional leadership, and spiritual influence. This intentional focus has earned Cedarville a national reputation as a leader in liberal arts, health sciences, and professional programs. Cedarville’s undergraduate curriculum is built upon a liberal arts core including biblical education, communications, global studies, humanities, physical education, science and mathematics, and the social sciences. From this foundation, the University’s 73 undergraduate degree programs provide concentrated study leading to one of eight baccalaureate degrees. Graduate programs are a growing segment of Cedarville’s educational array. Now offering five master’s and doctoral degrees and five certificate programs in the areas of business, nursing, education, ministry, and pharmacy, these programs — five available fully online — build on the University’s undergraduate reputation, but serve the unique needs of adult students. Mission Statement Cedarville University transforms lives through excellent education and intentional discipleship in submission to biblical authority. Vision Statement For the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ. Page2 2019–20 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Introduction A Word From Our President

Ministry Opportunities Cedarville University is dedicated to ministry involvement as a vital part of each student’s education and spiritual growth. Students are challenged to consider how their academic disciplines, interests, and abilities can be used to build relationships to share the Gospel with the people God intentionally places in their lives. Directed by the Associate Vice President for Christian Ministries and coordinated through 14 full-time staff members, Christian Ministries provides training and assistance to the hundreds of students who volunteer each year. Chapel
 It has been said that the heartbeat of Cedarville University is the daily chapel service held in the James T. Jeremiah Chapel. At 10 a.m. each morning, the auditorium comes alive as the University gathers to worship, pray, hear from God’s Word, and contemplate relevant issues facing the body of Christ today. Chapel is a place for students to grow and connect as speakers inspire and challenge the University family. Many students participate in one of the many chapel bands that lead worship each day, or work in a production support role. Alumni often mention chapel as one of the things they miss most after graduation. You can watch chapel live weekdays by going to cedarville.edu/chapellive. Church Relations Church Relations seeks to engage Christ-centered churches and their leadership in order to build and strengthen strategic and reciprocal relationships, connect churches to the resources of Cedarville University, and promote student involvement in local churches. This engagement occurs through a number of activities and efforts. • Pastor Appreciations — Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to express appreciation for their pastors who have ministered to them. Personal notes and postcards are used in this effort. • Annual Conferences — Church Relations sponsors or supports Cedarville conferences designed to equip and strengthen local churches, such as the annual Pastors Conference, Worship 4:24, Bioethics Conference, and other events, addressing a variety of issues facing the church. • Regional and National Conferences — Cedarville staff members represent the University to pastors and churches at a number of regional and national conferences. Discipleship Ministries Discipleship Ministries seeks to create opportunities that foster and flourish 2 Timothy 2:2 relationships, where as a result of walking together, students grow in their relationship with Christ as well as their ability to train others to do the same. Nearly one-third of the student body is involved in upperclassman-led Bible studies. These groups meet weekly throughout the school year and create an atmosphere for spiritual growth through accountability, prayer, open discussion, and loving community. Every fall, students can sign up to join a group. Fit To Be Tied is another strategic ministry specifically targeting seriously dating, engaged, or newly married couples. Student couples meet regularly with their mentor couple throughout the school year as well as attending five relevant seminars focused on building Christ-honoring marriages. cedarville.edu/discipleship Global Outreach — Local Students reach out to their neighbors through local churches, community outreach teams, using their resources, talents, and time to live out the Gospel while serving others. Cedarville University is located in a region known as the Miami Valley. The cities of Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati are close by, as well as many smaller communities. Dozens of student-led teams serve faithfully in these local communities and churches each week. • Local Church Teams — students serve alongside church members in many areas such as worship/music, youth ministries, children’s ministries, Awana, nursery, etc. • Local Outreach Teams — students serve in various agencies and faith-based organizations, including crisis pregnancy/ abstinence, evangelism/urban, youth and children, jail/ detention, refugee, and special needs ministries. Global Outreach — Domestic Students have opportunity to join a weeklong team, often over a break, to serve along with ministries in various cities, such as Memphis, New York, Dearborn, and Chicago, seeking to share the Gospel in the inner city, refugee outreach, and practical children’s programs. 2019–20 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Page7 IntroductionMinistry Opportunities
