More than 150 years ago, nine women gathered in a basement to begin their college journey at a time when most women were denied an education. Today, our Allentown, PA campus spans 84 acres and is home to over 1500 students and faculty, while also housing 130+ tree species as a recognized arboretum. Since its inception, Cedar Crest College has helped thousands of women to become confident, successful leaders in a wide variety of careers.
