Community is what makes Spalding great. Spalding educates students who want to serve their communities through their chosen profession. Spalding University’s core mission is based on meeting the needs of the times. Our faculty and staff respond to the individual needs of our students, whether they attend our campus or study with us online. Along with undergraduate and graduate students, they collectively work to meet the communal needs of our neighborhood, city and region.
This is our pledge: Every student will leave Spalding a stronger leader, a more involved citizen and an enlightened lifelong learner.
