Cedarville’s Accreditation Reaffirmed
The Institutional Actions Council of the
Higher Learning Commission (HLC) has
officially continued the accreditation of
Cedarville University. The next reaffirmation
of accreditation will take place in 2026–27.
Cedarville University has been continuously
a c c r e d i t e d t h r ou g h t h e
Commission since 1975.
Th e HLC announ c e d
the accreditation during its
December 12, 2016, meeting.
Accreditation was reaffirmed
after a multiyear internal
process that engaged all areas
of the University community.
This included developing a
comprehens ive a ssur ance
argument and culminated with
a site visit by a Commission-
appointed teamof peer reviewers
on October 10–11, 2016.
In its recommendation to the Commission
following the site visit, the team described
Cedarville as “a university that is deeply
committed to its mission and related mission
documents. Students experience both high
quality academics and spiritual growth on a
beautiful 400 acre campus. Cedarville faculty,
staff, and students stand for the ‘Word of God
and the Testimony of Jesus Christ.’”
Thomas White, President of Cedarville
University, responded to the announcement:
“Our faculty and staff did an excellent job in
preparation, but the praise and glory for this
result belongs to the Lord Who has called
quality men and women to serve at Cedarville
and granted us favor with the reviewers.”
The team’s recommendation to the
Commission, as a result of the visit, stated
that all 21 core components of the Criteria for
Accreditation were met and that there were
no recommendations for interimmonitoring.
In its final report to the Commission,
the site team highlighted the University’s
strategic plan that “focuses on five core
strategies: Academic Excellence, Gospel
Impact, Institutional Sustainability, Program
Innovation, and Vibrant Community.” These
five areas are at the heart of the work of
Cedarville and its administration.
The team continued, “Cedarville has
made advances in financial sustainability,
improved a culture of assessment, and placed
a re-emphasis on its mission. Operating with
integrity, the university focuses on academic
rigor and looks toward the future. They are
aware of their role to serve the greater good,
and this may be seen through the actions of all
members of the community.”
