Spalding combines a sincere dedication to comprehensive, modern education with a genuine respect for its rich academic heritage. Evolving from the Nazareth Academy, we are the oldest University west of the Alleghenies to be steeped in the Catholic tradition. Today this urban, co-educational institution offers 25 degree programs at the bachelor, master and doctoral level, providing quality, real-world learning in liberal and professional studies to over 2000 students. Spalding represents the synthesis of values-based tradition and flexible, relevant, 21st century educational programs. Promoting and embracing diversity while understanding the competing responsibilities that students face, Spalding is truly home to the “every-student.”
