Cedar Crest College

Since its founding in 1867, Cedar Crest College has taken a bold approach to education - creating a college and a curriculum designed for women who want to achieve at the highest levels! Recognizing the multi-dimensional nature of students, Cedar Crest College is dedicated to the education of the next generation of women leaders by preparing the whole student for life in the global community. Cedar Crest also provides a wealth of opportunity for non-traditional and graduate students. Cedar Crest's co-educational School of Adult and Graduate Education(SAGE) demonstrates our commitment to education at all levels. As important as academics are, students need more to develop their full potential and be happy in the process. Student Life at Cedar Crest College stresses the importance of nourishing the mind, body and soul of the student in a way that prepares them for success in all facets of life. Student Life encourages all students to take leadership positions in more than 50 clubs and organizations; to participate in community service endeavors at scores of social service agencies; to take charge of their future through proactive career planning and much more. Research shows that students who live on campus have a greater level of satisfaction with their college experience because they naturally become more rooted in the campus community. Whether it’s forming a study group with dorm mates, enjoying a healthy and tasty meal with friends in the dining hall, or something else, residence hall living is also a great way to experience independence and to forge lifelong friendships. It can also save you money compared to off-campus housing! A Cedar Crest education does more than provide a degree. It empowers students to become strong and inspiring leaders equipped to make positive, lasting change in the world.
