, Salem College enrolls approximately 950 students; this includes undergraduate students, graduate students in the field of Education as well as adult Continuing Education students who live off-campus. All "traditional" undergraduates live on Salem's campus or off-campus with their immediate family. Though the majority hail from North Carolina and the surrounding states, many come from as far away as Texas, Florida, Colorado, New York, New Jersey, and Maine. There is also an international student population, with students from Nepal, Ethiopia, South Korea, Mexico and Burma. The diversity of Salem's student population creates classes that are a rich mixture of traditional-aged college students and adult students, enhancing the learning environment.
