Cedar Crest College beginning in spring 2018 will guarantee every sophomore in good standing the chance to study abroad - at no extra cost beyond regular tuition, the school announced Monday. Full-time sophomores with a minimum 2.5 GPA will get the chance to spend seven to 10 days in another country with their classmates under the program. The trip will take place over spring break, and no class time will be missed, the college said. The college estimates the vast majority of the 180 to 200 students in the class will participate. “We hope that students will use the experience to learn some things about themselves and learn some things about the world,” Carmen Twillie Ambar, president of the women’s college based in Allentown, said in a statement. The Institute of International Education, which tracks study abroad, had not heard of any other programs like Cedar Crest’s.
