History

The school was founded as Salem College by the Seventh Day Baptist Church in 1888. It soon became a non-sectarian non-profit college.
The school continued as a liberal arts and teacher education college until the 1989 when it was beset with financial problems. This led it to form an alliance with Teikyo University of Tokyo, Japan. This changed the focus of the school to one of education of international students in a unique atmosphere. Salem College was then renamed Salem-Teikyo University.
The alliance with Teikyo ended in 2000, and the school changed its name to Salem International University. Salem International University was acquired by The Palmer Group in June 2005.
Salem's enrollment is roughly 300 resident students, 300 graduate students, and 100 online students. The school's student body has the third highest percentage of international students in the United States. The school is not related to Salem College in North Carolina.
