Program Prerequisites
Bible
Effective with the 2012–13 graduate catalog, students must have completed a minor in Bible or have taken coursework adequate to meet the outcomes of BEGS-6250 Bible Survey for Professionals and BEGS-7250 Foundations of Biblical Theology. Students who have not met this requirement, as determined by the office of the registrar, must enroll in BEGS-6250 and/or BEGS-7250 before or concurrent with other classes during the first year and before enrolling in EDU-6100 History and Philosophy of Education.
Prerequisite Bible courses will not satisfy electives for the M.Ed. program. If you need to satisfy the Bible prerequisite, view the general study/non-degree courses or register for classes.
Program prerequisites may be completed at Cedarville University or at another regionally accredited institution.
