The mission of Cedarville University has always been to transform students’ lives academically, professionally, and spiritually. Now, we are expanding that mission around the globe. In August, we are launching Cedarville Online — our first-ever online undergraduate degree programs. This venture builds on successful dual enrollment and graduate programs that already serve thousands of online students. By expanding into undergraduate programs, we aim to sustainably extend our mission while holding fast to what makes Cedarville so special. We like to say that every student who wants a Cedarville education should be able to have one. Now, we’re making a life-transforming education accessible to students around the world who couldn’t attend otherwise. Some students long to study at Cedarville but face personal challenges — location, cost, family responsibilities, or health needs. Cedarville Online brings a flexible, affordable Christian education to themwithout compromising on quality or mission. Others are exactly where God wants them to be. They are deeply connected with their churches, working in promising jobs, investing in their families, or surrounded by strong local communities. Cedarville Online helps these students pursue what God has called them to in the present without missing out on investing in their futures. In this issue of Cedarville Magazine, we’re excited to share more about this new chapter. You’ll hear more fromme about how Cedarville Online will strengthen the University for years to come. You’ll be blessed by the testimony of Dr. Bob Lutz, the man leading Cedarville Online’s launch. And you'll hear from our faculty about the rich history of online education and our staff about how each Cedarville Online course is developed with life transformation in mind. May the Lord use Cedarville Online to work in students’ lives for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ.
