Start Your Student's Search for a New Church Home!
Friday, May 9, 2025
Cedarville University is privileged to care for the spiritual growth of thousands of students with an immense potential to impact the world for God's glory. We take this charge very seriously.

During their 1000 Days at Cedarville, what takes place on our campus should not be their only opportunity for fellowship with the body of Christ. Chapel is an exciting and distinctive part of a Cedarville education, but it does not take the place of the local church.
Read today's post to learn more about local churches that students call home away from home.

How a College's Graduation Rate Can Save You Money
Friday, March 7, 2025
We all know students who started their four-year college journey … six years ago. Whether they are struggling to pass classes, basking in the learning experience, or simply switching their major too many times, their college education can quickly accumulate an even larger price tag when eight semesters turn into twelve.
One of the best ways a university can save you money is to help your student graduate on time. Consider the additional costs if students take five or more years to finish or if they never complete their educational goals!
At Cedarville, we make it a priority to help students graduate on time, saving them money but more importantly, allowing them to begin using their career to make an impact for Christ sooner. Today's post provides helpful information about graduation rates and what to consider as you compare college options.

Friday, January 17, 2025
