Spring 2024 – "The Value of a Cedarville Degree"
When many are questioning the value of higher education, what makes a Cedarville education priceless? Is it the economic benefit a college degree offers for students' lives? The first-rate career preparation and excellent academics? The spiritual sharpening that equips students to stand strong in their faith?
Cedarville’s value is so much more than a degree – it's a life transformed for career success and Kingdom impact.
ROI: Lives Transformed
College is not for everyone. But for most, a college education is a privilege to be pursued because it faithfully stewards the gifts and opportunities that the Lord has entrusted to us. In short, a Christian college education will challenge students to maximize their impact for King Jesus.
The Value of a Graduate Degree
Cedarville University has been a tremendously formative part in our family as well as in my spiritual growth and development. For all these contributions, I will always be grateful.

Jeff Reep ’78, Director of Cedarville’s Career Services office, regularly tells students that the average person works 80,000 hours of his or her life. This is more time than they will spend with their spouse and children, recreation, or church. 80,000 hours is staggering.
Through Parent Eyes
The college decision is vitally important for future students, but it matters every bit as much to the parents who have spent so many years building into their children’s lives.
Unlocking Affordability
After choosing a college, another big question follows: How are we going to pay for four years of education? One-size-fits-all answers don’t exist.
Counting the Costs
When many parents look at the headlines about a college education, it is natural for them to ask the question, “Is this really worth it?” When university students (especially in so-called elite institutions) across the country are protesting Israel and effectively calling for the elimination of the Jewish state (with professors often brazenly leading the chants), parents should rightly ask, “What kind of education are we paying for?”
