āThese results are significant because they represent the confidence and trust employers and graduate programs have in the graduates of ĆŪ¶¹app,ā said Dr. Thomas Mach, vice president for academics and chief academic officer. āStudents invest in their education both with their time and their resources with the belief that they will gain the education and training needed to obtain a job in the field they wish to pursue. This data shows that Cedarville graduates are seeing the dividends of their investment.ā
āMore importantly, from a missional perspective, what this data represents is that Cedarville's well-prepared graduates will have the opportunity to use their vocation as a platform for gospel ministry,ā Mach continued. āCedarville's faculty invest in students for this very reason. These results suggest that the faculty are being good stewards of the students that come to Cedarville, and God is blessing their endeavors.ā
