Calling it Studio 61, they felt the space would allow young, eager artists to stretch their skills through bigger canvases, more-detailed plans, and new media. And visitors could watch as art was taken from conceptual sketches to the final product. Participant Mike Steiner '08, graphic design major, said, "I've been given a portion of Cedarville, and it is my intent to give back to the community through my artistic contribution."

Our Center for Political Studies and our Center for Bioethics will prepare you to engage these critical issues as a Christian leader in whatever field you choose. One way Cedarville helps students articulate a biblical worldview is through our award-winning speech and debate teams. On March 7-9, 2008, these teams competed at the National Christian College Forensics Invitational and came back with some impressive results: • National Champions in Debate Team Sweepstakes • National Champions in Forensics Team Sweepstakes • Overall Champions in Speech and Debate Sweepstakes From nursing to engineering and now pharmacy, Cedarville continues its more than 30-year tradition of pursuing excellence in the sciences. By adding pharmacy, Cedarville will fill a nationwide need for quality, godly pharmacists. The first class of prepharmacy students began their career in the fall of 2008, anticipating the start of their Pharm.D. master's program in 2012.

God is our ultimate authority, and we stand by the inerrancy of Scripture. Academics here are more than gathering information and practicing skills ... your classes and professors will equip you for a lifetime of careful thought and compassionate ministry. Nothing brings the Bible to life like seeing firsthand evidence of creation and the flood. For 13 Cedarville students and one expert geology professor, no setting was more telling than their cavernous classroom among the national parks of five Southwest states. Dr. John Whitmore, associate professor of geology, has dedicated his life to the study of earth science from a biblical perspective and delights in sharing that perspective with his students. It's the best - and best-kept - secret on Cedarville's campus. And it all starts in Dr. Jeff Cook's Introduction to Urban Ministries course. Cook, associate professor of Bible, wanted this to be a class that went beyond the intellectual experience and engaged all aspects of a student's life: spiritual, emotional, and physical. So, he added the Poverty Weekend to the course curriculum ... and started changing lives. That's all we can tell you. But if you take the class, you'll never be the same again.
