Traditional daytime students can begin any time throughout the academic year and focus on one or two classes each session instead of balancing five or six classes for a full semester.

Located in downtown Louisville, Spalding University's urban campus is located between the main business/government district of the city and Old Louisville, a neighborhood of elegant Victorian mansions, which in the latter half of the 19th century was the center of gracious living. Only blocks from Fourth Street Live, the campus is also adjacent to the Louisville Free Public Library and is conveniently accessible to public transportation. Spalding offers hands-on, pre-professional internship and practicum experiences at renowned businesses, medical facilities, schools and corporate headquarters, which are in close proximity.

Spalding University is located within a few blocks from the vibrant, growing downtown area of Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville manages to provide the best of both worlds; a modern, progressive city that still holds on to its classical old world charm. The population of the Louisville metropolitan area is approximately one million.

Spalding University

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

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.

Historically, Spalding University has offered extensive study programs for the part-time student. Teachers, nurses, 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. The university specializes in programs involving nursing and nursing education, as well as post-graduate nursing degrees. In addition, the Spalding University baseball program has been nationally ranked the past 4 years, including 2 trips to the NAIA College World Series.
