| School mission: | Salem College, a liberal arts college for women, values its students as individuals, develops their unique potential, and prepares them to change the world. Founded in 1772 as a school for girls, Salem is the oldest school in the nation dedicated to the education of women. As a result of the historical evolution of its mission, the College welcomes and educates both women and men in the community through its Continuing Studies Program (age 23 and over) and the Graduate Program in Education. Salem's Women in Science and Math Program, Center for Women Writers, School of Music, and Women in Business Program are strong contributors to the greater community. Salem's size, campus environment, and diverse student body enrich the sense of community. Salem is a special environment where students experience the rewards of rigorous academic work, expand their capacity for creative, analytical and ethical thought, and prepare for positions of leadership and responsibility in a changing world. |
