There are a myriad of services and extracurricular programs available to you on campus and I urge you to take advantage of them as you pursue your studies. The more integrated into the life of the university you are able to become, the more rewarding your experience will be.
Salem State University began offering graduate programs during the 1950s, beginning with M.Ed and MAT degrees. Nearly half a century later, the university offers a vast array of graduate and certificate programs in teaching, business administration, social work, education, English, history, nursing, mathematics, criminal justice, and geo-information sciences, to mention just a few. As work force needs change and evolve, we continue to add to these established programs. Our goal, of course, is to assist you in achieving your professional goals and satisfying the licensing and educational requirements of your chosen professions.
On behalf of the faculty and staff of Salem State University and its School of Graduate Studies, I welcome you to our family of learners, and look forward to providing you the tools you require as you advance in your field.
