Through its Dual Credit Academy, Cedar Crest College has partnered with TEL Education, a nonprofit organization that provides high-quality, affordable learning opportunities for high-school students pursuing college coursework. This collaboration reflects Cedar Crest’s commitment to making education accessible, affordable, and opening doors for future college students.
Through this partnership, high-school students can take online dual-enrollment courses through any of the College’s partner schools. Dual Credit Academy courses are offered at a tuition rate of $200 for a 3-credit college class. TEL Education, known for its commitment to accessible and affordable education, supports Cedar Crest in offering these courses and provides support services to help high-school students succeed in these college-level courses.
“Cedar Crest is excited to partner with Pennsylvania school districts to offer an expanded variety of online courses through our Dual Credit Academy,” says Provost Robert Wilson. “Our partnership with TEL Education ensures high-school students receive exceptional support to succeed in these college classes. Students can earn credit toward a college degree with us, gaining advanced standing in our programs for women or transferable credits for study elsewhere.”
