Accepted Students

Congratulations on your acceptance to Cedar Crest College!

This is an exciting time for you! But it can be stressful, too. You want to choose the undergraduate school that’s right for you—one that will help you reach your goals, achieve your dreams, build lifelong friendships…and have the time of your life! We know that Cedar Crest College can do all of this for you—as it has for thousands of women just like you. If you agree, you can skip ahead to step 4! If not, let us help you out, starting with Step 1.

Step 1: Visit us (or visit again)!

The only way to get a true feel for our College is to come to our beautiful campus, meet our friendly and welcoming students, sample our delicious food, and chat with the professors in your field of interest. Plan your visit now!

Step 2: Ask, ask, ask!

Talk to your admissions counselor on the phone, through e-mail, or when you visit our campus. Find out what you need to know about whatever you’re wondering about. Some ideas:

• Financial aid and scholarships
• Majors, dual majors, minors, and flexible degree options
• Activities, sports, events, and student life

Step 3: Remember what’s special about Cedar Crest College.

Cedar Crest College offers some very unique benefits, including:

• Personalized attention: We offer a student-faculty ratio of 11:1, small class sizes, and the individual attention to help you succeed.
• Faculty with real-world experience: Our professors have experience both in the classroom and on the job—and they’ll share what they know with you.
• Leadership roles for women: As a women’s college, Cedar Crest offers more opportunities for women students to practice leadership in classes, clubs, and the community.
• Liberal arts courses: New and amazing careers are being created all the time. A liberal arts degree means that you’ll be ready for anything—and more appealing to future employers.
• Global awareness: Everything we do affects both our community and the world around us. Cedar Crest College believes in helping students make a positive difference in both.
