Salem Community College was founded as Salem County Technical Institute in 1958. Recognizing the college-level caliber of the institute’s programs, the Salem County Board of Chosen Freeholders requested approval to grant degree-awarding authority to the institute. The New Jersey Commission on Higher Education evaluated the institute’s programs and granted the requested approval. On September 3, 1972, Salem Community College was established.
Salem Community College is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, which was first granted in 1979, and reaffirmed in 1984, 1990, 1995 & 2005.
