Additionally, with Cedar Crest’s Harmon Center for technology you’ll be invited to participate in programming—either on-campus or virtually—that positions you to be a woman in, or a supporter of women, working in a historically male-dominated field.

Coming to Cedar Crest with some previous credits under your belt? We see how hard you worked for your previous credits, so that’s why we’ve developed a generous transfer credit policy. Our transfer counselors will help you make sure you can finish strong.
