Salem Academy and College

SALEM COLLEGE IS AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE COMMITTED TO THE LIBERAL ARTS AND QUALITY PROFESSIONAL PREPARATION. FOUNDED BY THE MORAVIAN CHRUCH IN 1772 AS A SCHOOL FOR GIRLS, SALEM STRIVES TO SET ITS SIGNATURE UPON ITS STUDENTS BY ENCOURAGING THEM TO RECOGNIZE AND STRENGTHEN THEIR HUMAN FACULTIES AND THEIR CAPACITIES FOR SERVICE, PROFESSIONAL LIFE, AND LEADERSHIP. IN LIGHT OF SUCH EVIDENCE THAT SUCH POWERS FLOURISH WHEN WOMEN LIVE AND LEARN WITHIN A COMMUNITY DEDICATED TO THEIR EDUCATION, SALEM AFFIRMS ITS COMMITMENT TO YOUNG WOMEN IN A RESIDENTIAL SETTING. AS A RESULT OF THE HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF ITS MISSION, THE COLLEGE EDUCATES BOTH WOMEN AND MEN IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ITS CONTINUING STUDIES PROGRAM AND GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN EDUCATION.
