The Salt Institute for Documentary Studies is the only school of its kind in the United States. Salt offers semester programs in nonfiction writing and editing, documentary radio, and documentary photography at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Outgrowths of the program include the publication Salt Magazine, featuring a range of the best nonfiction writing and documentary photography by our students, an archive, and a gallery.

The semester programs are offered in the spring and fall of each year providing students the opportunity to immerse themselves fully in writing, photography, or radio. The program's accredited courses draw students from colleges and universities across the country (and increasingly the world) each semester, where they engage in an independent field based research projects.
