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.
At Salzburg College classroom work, field study and travel complement each other. Students are encouraged to make their personal experience part of their academic studies. Social and experiential learning constitutes a major part of the program. All classes are taught in English by European professors and students receive regular US transferable credits for their work. Students study at Salzburg College for a semester, an academic year, or a summer session. In order to enhance concentrated learning, Salzburg College offers its courses in form of block scheduling. To support the student’s Austrian experience, two courses, Understanding Austria and a German language course, are required of all semester and year students.
Salzburg College also specializes in administering faculty-lead study abroad programs for American Universities.

Cooperative education is a structured method of combining classroom-based education with practical work experience. A cooperative education experience, commonly known as a "co-op", provides academic credit for structured job experience, and is taking on new importance in helping young people to make the school-to-work transition. It falls under the umbrella of work-integrated learning but is distinct, as it alternates a school term with a work term in a structured manner, involves a partnership between the academic institution and the employer, and generally is both paid and intended to advance the education of the student.
