Cedarville Ranked as a Top Ten Christian University

Cedarville University is one of the best Christian colleges in the nation according to Christian Universities Online (CUO). The independent online resource ranked Cedarville as the ninth best Christian institution nationally and the best in Ohio.

With a student-to-faculty ratio of 13-to-1, Cedarville shows a strong commitment to providing a quality student experience and academic excellence. The university’s retention rate of 85 percent is 15 percent higher than the national average, and its 72 percent graduation rate also exceeds the national average.
