Salem International University is a small for-profit school in Salem, West Virginia. It has about 600 students, enrolled in 2 and 4 year degree programs, graduate programs, and classes are available through both on-campus and online learning environments. SIU offers B.S.I.T, B.A., B.S., M.Ed., and M.B.A. degrees

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 1989 when it formed 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 Salem Education, LLC in June 2005.
