*The state of Ohio allows universities to establish relevant coursework to determine college readiness.
Cedarville has determined that relevant coursework consists of completion of at least 0.5 high school
credits in math, English, social studies and science with a grade of A or B in each subject. Students who
have taken some high school coursework but do not meet this minimum will be required to provide
proficient test scores for admission to the Dual Enrollment program.
