Salem Community College From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Salem Community College is an accredited, co-educational, two-year public, community college located in Salem County, New Jersey. Salem Community College's main 11-acre campus is in Carneys Point Township. SCC is authorized to grant associate's degrees — Associate in Arts, Associate in Science and Associate in Applied Science — and certificates in over 40 liberal arts, business, practical nursing, scientific glass technology, and technology programs of study.

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 County 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 and 1995.
