Cedar Crest College

For each of the 142 years since its founding, 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.

The mission of Cedar Crest, an independent women's college, is to provide students with an excellent education that is grounded in the liberal arts and informed by humanistic values.
The curriculum is designed to enhance the development of critical thinking and leadership skills, creative abilities, social awareness and technological literacy. Committed to experiential and lifelong learning, the College’s curricular and co-curricular programs empower students to be ethical, engaged, and responsible members of their communities, to appreciate global diversity, and to provide stewardship for the environment. A Cedar Crest education prepares students for careers as well as professional and graduate studies.

Cedar Crest also provides a wealth of opportunity for non-traditional and graduate students. Our co-educational Lifelong Learning and graduate programs demonstrate our commitment to education at all levels.

At Cedar Crest you will become a leader for life. Once you are here you will understand what others before you mean when they say at Cedar Crest you will “Learn More, Achieve More, Be More!”
