In Cedarville’s Department of History and Government, your education is about more than what you learn — it’s about who God is calling you to become. As you study history, politics, and public life, you’ll be challenged to think carefully, evaluate ideas through a biblical worldview, and prepare for faithful service wherever God leads.
You’ll learn in a setting where your professors speak openly about their faith and invest in you personally. They see you as a brother or sister in Christ and are committed to helping you grow in both knowledge and maturity.
As you move through the program, you’ll be taught by faculty with strong academic credentials and professional experience. Their work in diplomacy, city management, law enforcement, the courts, and public service brings real-world perspective into your classes and helps you connect what you’re learning to the world you’ll step into.
