Cedarville University is a private Baptist institution situated in the rural village of Cedarville, Ohio, approximately 25 miles east of Dayton and 60 miles northeast of Cincinnati. The 400-acre campus features a mix of historic red-brick buildings and modern facilities, including a newly expanded science and engineering complex. Founded in 1887 as Cedarville College, the institution maintains its evangelical Christian mission through required Bible courses and daily chapel attendance for all undergraduate students. The university offers professional programs in nursing, engineering, and business, alongside liberal arts degrees, with particularly strong emphasis in its health sciences and engineering departments. Students reside in single-sex residence halls, as campus housing is required for undergraduate students unless they live with family in the immediate area.
