History of Cedarville

In 1887, Cedarville College was established by five godly men who envisioned a college that would provide Christian higher education. Throughout its history, God has blessed Cedarville with incredible growth, from state-of-the-art facilities to professional programs, but one thing has remained the same: For 130+ years, we have stood “For the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ.”
