Are you looking for a college that embraces and empowers you?

Then Cedar Crest College, a small women’s college in Allentown, Pennsylvania, is worth exploring! While 91% of our students identify as female, Cedar Crest welcomes and embraces students with varying gender identities. Cedar Crest College is a place where you’re free to be yourself, supported by a community that cheers you on and helps you grow. At Cedar Crest, We See You.

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. Since that day, Cedar Crest has helped thousands of women become confident, successful leaders in a wide variety of careers. Nurses. Forensic Scientists. Doctors. Lawyers. Biologists. Chemists. Educators. Therapists. Dancers. Writers. Artists. Athletes. And so much more. Learn what you can become at Cedar Crest.
