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 Board of Higher Education evaluated the institute’s programs and granted the requested approval. On September 3, 1972, Salem Community College was established by the Board of Chosen Freeholders.
