For nearly 170 years, ����ֱ�� has served as a beacon of hope and opportunity across the North Shore and beyond.

Students come to Salem State to build a brighter future for themselves, their families and their communities. This is our moment to create a brighter future for our university.

Many of our promising adult learners face significant hurdles in their quest to learn and graduate — from balancing family responsibilities to managing a full-time career — while on the path to earning their degree.

As part of the Meet the Moment™ comprehensive campaign, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies is committed to meeting every student where they are by making degree completion accessible and efficient for our post-traditional learners.

The campaign includes substantive investments in foundational tools needed to aid career development for students who began their degree but were unable to finish, now coming back to college with a strong sense of self and knowledge of their professional ambitions.

Our faculty go to great lengths to make degree attainment convenient for our students. The support made possible by unrestricted funding will enhance services that our faculty provide, keeping the university responsive to student needs, including the evaluation of life experience and informal training for earned credits, capitalizing on external partnerships that help feed the workforce pipeline and helping students get back on track and persist through a credit recovery program.
