A Bold, Biblical Approach to Geology
Friday, October 4, 2024

At Cedarville, we approach the study of geology differently from most universities — even ones that identify as "Christian." As with every program we offer, our geology program boldly acknowledges the Bible as the ultimate framework for research and study without sacrificing academic excellence. We are unashamed to adhere to a literal, six-day account of creation and recognize God as the Creator of all life. We are honored to be an Answers in Genesis preferred partner and an invited exhibitor at their annual college expo.
