In 1772, Salem College was founded on the revolutionary idea that women deserve the same education as men. Today that idea continues to serve as a successful foundation for our students pursuing bachelor of arts degrees and bachelor of science degrees with majors in a wide range of disciplines.
Salem graduates are leaders in their fields. From becoming chief operating officers at major corporations to being admitted to the graduate schools to pursue research, our alumnae are changing the world.
At Salem, students may choose from more than 50 academic programs that span the humanities, the sciences, business and the arts. Our offerings include majors in biochemistry, health communication and race and ethnicity studies as well as minors in nonprofit management and community leadership, design and environmental science.
You can apply to Salem College through this website or add us to the Common Application. Thanks to the generosity of our alumnae donors, we do not have an application fee. Once you apply, you will automatically be considered.
First-year students may apply for advanced placement and/or credit if they submit scores of 4 or 5 (depending on the exam) on the Advanced Placement tests of the College Board. In addition, students who have completed courses/tests in the International Baccalaureate Program may apply for advanced placement and/or credit in certain academic areas if they submit scores of 5 or above on higher level exams (depending on the exam).
