Unlimited Possibilities for Learning

Academics at Salem College is founded upon the belief that traditional liberal arts and sciences give you unlimited possibilities for your future and equip you to truly change the world. You will be challenged and motivated by our 30 undergraduate majors and 26 minors as well as by special opportunities such as the Salem Signature program, the Center for Women Writers and the Women in Science and Math program. Whether you enter Salem with a specific educational goal in mind or want the chance to academically stretch yourself, you'll be right at home at Salem.

Small Classes, Supportive Faculty

Our student-faculty ratio of 13:1 means individual attention from our talented and diverse faculty members; the chance to speak your mind among your peers; and the opportunity to work together to design projects, propose research topics and obtain internships in your chosen field of study. The January Term ever year, which is mandatory for undergraduates, is a rich source of experiential education that may lead you abroad to study another culture or have you doing research closer to home.
