The Kentucky MSW True-Cost Census

CSWE-accredited · Louisville, Kentucky

Master of Social Work — Spalding University — 2027 edition

Spalding University's CSWE-accredited MSW in Louisville — continuously accredited since November 2000, the longest-standing accreditation in the census — offers an advanced standing advanced-generalist curriculum of 31 credits per the 2025–26 catalog. A regular-standing option is also offered, but its credit total was not confirmed in current primary sources. No program-specific per-credit tuition rate is published, so this census does not estimate cost.
