Cooperative Agreements

Cedar Crest College collaborates with several academic institutions to provide our students with innovative pathways that help them succeed in their chosen fields.

The dance major requires students to complete one off-campus experience during the school year or summer. This experience can be found under PER 350 Independent Research. Many students have completed this requirement at their home studios. There are also many opportunities within the Lehigh Valley for students as well.
