This new Health Leadership approach to liberal arts education will prepare the next generation of women to become empowered, ethical, effective health leaders in a wide range of fields from medicine and wellness to law and public policy, from business and not-for-profit to advocacy and the environment. What inspired Salem to undergo this transformation? Salem has a long history of adapting to the most critical challenges of our time, as well as responding to the changing expectations and needs of women. As the world continues to rapidly change, great institutions must change with it. This process began almost three years ago—supported by deep research, expert education and industry consultants, and deep engagement with more than 200 Salem stakeholders—including faculty, staff, administration, students, alumnae, Board of Trustees members, and more.

What will the academic programming include? Like any great transformation, this will be a careful and phased process. Starting this fall, Salem will add four new health-oriented majors— Health Sciences , Health Humanities , Health Advocacy and Humanitarian Systems , and Health Communication and Data Visualization —as well as women’s leadership development programming, a renewed core liberal arts curriculum, and expanded internship and service-learning opportunities, all centered on the t...
