In 1975, news that Cedarville College had been fully accredited
as a bachelor’s degree-granting institution was greeted with
a hearty “Hallelujah” by the
Whispering Cedars
student
newspaper.
By the time then-President James T. Jeremiah received
the confirmation letter from the North Central Association
of Colleges and Schools, Cedarville had been on an 18-year
journey tomake sure its programs met the governing body’s
stringent guidelines for excellence regarding professors,
curriculum, and facilities. Accreditation was, and still is,
essential for Cedarville’s degrees to be accepted in graduate
programs and in the workforce.
This year, as part of the reaffirmation of accreditation
process, Cedarville University faculty and staff are
working hard to complete a review of more than 100
programs of study, plus all cocurricular programs, all
of which demonstrate that the University still meets
these high standards. This reaccreditation process will
culminate with a Higher Learning Commission team
visit to campus in fall 2016.
