Spalding University is kicking off the 2025–26 academic year with record-breaking momentum, celebrating historic gains in enrollment and welcoming the largest student body since 2020.
This fall, Spalding achieved an all-time high in graduate enrollment, with the largest incoming class in its history. The momentum continues at the undergraduate level, with our strongest new undergraduate enrollment since 2019—a remarkable year-over-year surge of over 25%.
Together, these milestones add up to a thriving university community of 1,560 students, a powerful sign of Spalding’s continued growth and impact.
“These numbers reflect the growing recognition of Spalding as a university of choice for students pursuing a values-driven, academically rigorous education in the heart of Louisville,” said Dr. Anne Kenworthy, President of Spalding. “Our mission of educating the whole person while meeting the needs of the times is resonating with students across disciplines, and we are excited to build on this momentum.”
The record-setting enrollment builds on Spalding’s commitment to innovation, student success, and community engagement, while reinforcing its role as a downtown anchor and hub of opportunity in Louisville.
