Introduction
History
Cedarville College was established on January
26, 1887, through the vision of five godly men who
dreamed of a college that would provide Christian
students with an education that was offered within
a spiritual framework. Affiliated with the Reformed
Presbyterian Church, the College attracted many local
students and built its first building, now known as
“Founders Hall,” in 1895. Cedarville quickly attracted
a growing number of students and gained a reputation
not only for its Bible teaching but also for its liberal
arts program.
The turbulence of the first
50 years of the 20th century
led to hard times for the
College. After multiple
attempts at revitalization,
the trustees realized the
school was no longer
sustainable. The College
would have to find another
school for merger, another
denomination to assume
its operation, or close its
doors.
At that time, the trustees
of the Baptist Bible Institute
of Cleveland, Ohio, were
seeking a campus for
expansion. After hearing
of Cedarville College,
the trustees visited the campus and were convinced
that Cedarville was the site that God had chosen for
their school. Upon agreement by both trustee boards,
ownership of the College was transferred on April 4,
1953. Cedarville College became a Baptist college of
arts and sciences. James T. Jeremiah, the pastor who
first suggested the Baptist Bible Institute-Cedarville
College connection, was called to be the College’s
President.
Soon the College was alive and flourishing. By
1959, enrollment had grown to 255. Faculty, staff, and
facilities were added. Six years later, the student body
had nearly tripled to 763. By the end of Dr. Jeremiah’s
25-year tenure as President in 1978, the College’s
enrollment had grown to more than 1,200 students.
Paul Dixon was then called to lead Cedarville
College. Through his leadership, the College continued
to flourish in every area, and by the end of his tenure
2
in 2003, there were nearly 3,000 students, more than
100 programs of study, and many new facilities.
In April of 2000, the board of trustees voted to
change the designation of the institution. Effective
September 1, 2000, Cedarville College became
Cedarville University.
William Brown took the helm of the institution in
October 2003, poised to advance Cedarville forward
into the next century. He did so through an expressed
focus on training students to effectively engage the
culture around them by
thinking critically and serving
compassionately.
Although much has
changed since Cedarville’s
founding, the mission of the
University has remained at
its core: Cedarville University
is a Christ-centered learning
community equipping students
for lifelong leadership and
service through an education
marked by excellence and
grounded in biblical truth.
As a result, Cedarville has
uniquely advanced liberal arts
and professional programs
alongside a conservative
theological position. The faculty continues to be
comprised solely of dedicated Christian professors
who integrate the expertise of their respective fields
with key biblical perspectives.
The University celebrated its 125th year of service
in 2012 as it launched new online graduate programs,
opened the Health Sciences Center, and joined the
NCAA Division II.
Thomas White became the 10th President in July
2013, bringing strong leadership and a pastoral heart
for ministry.
The future looks bright for Cedarville University as it
seeks God’s continued blessing in this, its 128th year of
service.

The Dixon Ministry Center
A mission statement defines a university. It communicates the unique priority that the institution places upon
the individual development of students, the advancement of knowledge, and service to the community.

make a difference in the world for Christ. Our graduates are serving across the nation and around the world,

In 2005, as the University looked ahead to new opportunities, its trustees, President, administration, faculty,
