Why Cedarville?

I appreciate Cedarville’s value that all students, regardless of their major, be trained with excellence and a biblical worldview in all disciplines, as well as the requirement that all students take the Bible minor. The foundation of the Bible and the focus upon discipleship with an understanding that the local church is vital to the life of students drew me here.
