It was originally located on Cedar Street in Worcester, Massachusetts.[1] The school's offerings expanded over time, and in 2002 the school was bought by Premier Education Group. "Salter College" was launched by Premier in 2007 with a new facility in West Boylston.[2] The college awarded its first three associate degrees in June 2008.[3]

Enrollment controversy
The Massachusetts Attorney General brought claims against Salter College alleging deceptive enrollment tactics. An investigation by the state government found that Salter had engaged in dubious marketing tactics and false promises to lure students into its health-related training programs. Salter, together with the Salter Schools, settled the claims in 2014 for $3.75 million.[5]
