| About this School |
| Spalding University is a private, non-profit career university in Louisville, Kentucky. It was named after Catherine Spalding, the founder of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, who was responsible for securing the 1829 charter granted by the legislature of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and is also regarded as the founder of social work in the Louisville area.
Today, there are 964 total undergraduate students enrolled on campus, as well as 738 graduate, and first professional students enrolled.

| History |
|
In 1920, Nazareth College was opened in Louisville, and was the first four-year Catholic college for women in the commonwealth. One year later Nazareth Junior College was formally opened on the old Nazareth campus. The two institutions were merged in 1940 into Nazareth College with two campuses.
These two schools separated again in 1961 to form Nazareth College at Nazareth and Catherine Spalding College in Louisville, but finally merged again in 1969 to form Spalding College. In May of 1971, all instructional activity was consolidated on the Louisville campus.
The College was incorporated in 1973 as an independent, urban, coeducational institution in the Catholic tradition for students of all traditions.
In 1984, in recognition of the wide range of programs offered, the institution was designated Spalding University, and in 1995 the university merged with the oldest Catholic high school in the Louisville area, Presentation Academy, which was also founded by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. This merger enabled the high school to continue to serve young women, as well as allowed Presentation and Spalding to extend their educational missions to a larger community.
Since the establishment of the Louisville campus in 1920, Spalding University has occupied the historic Tompkins-Buchanan-Rankin mansion as the core of its now expanded campus and continues its history of service to the Louisville area by providing undergraduate, graduate and doctorate programs which include components of the liberal arts and sciences and professional education for men and women of all ages and from all sectors of society.
Historically, Spalding University has offered extensive study programs for the part-time student. Teachers, librarians, business and professional persons, and others unable to attend college full-time have earned degrees by attending the University's evening and Saturday classes. In order to serve this same group of students more effectively, Spalding University opened its Weekend College in 1980 and its Accelerated Evening Program in 1998.
