Salzburg College was founded as a study abroad program for Northern Illinois University and Illinois State University by Dr. Ina Stegen in 1970 and started out with a classical European Studies Program of liberal arts courses. In 1975 a photography program was added to the existing courses. Around 1985 two new areas of study - music and communication/marketing - expanded the curriculum. Soon after that, internships were introduced to allow an even greater immersion in the Austrian-European culture. Salzburg College follows the vision of making study abroad in Salzburg a European immersion experience as well as a place for open exchange of ideas and culture.
