Top 10 Reasons

Top 10 Reasons You Should Study History and Government at Cedarville University

Integration of Scripture

We believe balancing Scripture throughout your course work is key to a strong program. Not only will you be encouraged to be salt and light, but to influence your culture for Christ. In addition, you will take a close look at what it means to have a moral government.

Life-Changing Opportunities

In an effort to enhance your undergraduate experience, Cedarville has introduced the D.C. Semester. Besides attending classes two days a week, you would intern at a participating agency anywhere from Capitol Hill to interest groups and government agencies.

Practical Experience

As a Cedarville history or government student, you will be able to intern under the direct supervision of a qualified professional. And the department recently initiated the History and Government Organization as a means of providing further opportunities for you and your professors to pursue like-minded interests.

Nothing ranks higher than seeing our students succeed. By that, we mean helping you find God's call on your life and then pursue it to the best of your ability. We not only guide you in the courses you need to take, but in how to achieve your personal objectives.

Diverse Faculty

History and Government faculty members are considered the heart of the department. One student described them as "trustworthy mentors who help us see the hand of God in history ... and encourage us to analyze politics in light of the Bible, the Constitution, and America's future."

We believe the freedom to participate in government is one of our basic civil duties. You will be encouraged to involve yourself in the democratic process, from voting to volunteering on political campaigns.
