Salem International University (commonly referred to as SIU) is an American for-profit college located in Salem, West Virginia, in the United States. It has about 835 students, enrolled in undergraduate as well as graduate programs, and was founded by the Seventh Day Baptist Church in 1888.
The school was founded as Salem College in December 1888 by the Seventh Day Baptist Church. Over the next 100 years, the school continued as a liberal arts, teacher education, and nursing college.
In 1989, Salem formed an alliance with Teikyo University of Tokyo, Japan, which changed the focus of the school to one of education of international students. Salem College was renamed Salem-Teikyo University. The alliance with Teikyo ended in 2000, when the school was purchased by investors from Singapore. At that time, the school changed its name to Salem International University. Salem International University was acquired by Salem Education LLC in June 2005.
The Salem College Administration Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
Salem is regionally accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
