About Us

The University of Louisville (UofL) is a nationally-recognized research university located in Kentucky's largest metropolitan area. It was a municipally supported public institution for many decades prior to joining the university system in 1970. Currently, the university is funded by the state of Kentucky, and has three campuses across the Louisville metro area.

The online “campus” at the University of Louisville offers 40+ programs in various areas of study, designed for adult learners who want to earn a college degree or certificate while working full time or juggling other life priorities. Earning a degree online enables you to fit education into your busy schedule and help you achieve your personal and professional goals faster. Online programs are available through the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, College of Education and Human Development, Kent School of Social Work, J.B. Speed School of Engineering, School of Nursing, and School of Public Health and Information Sciences.

The best part? A degree earned online at UofL is still a UofL degree. The name of the degree and the transcripts will not indicate whether the degree was completed online, on campus or through a combination of both methods.

UofL is proud to serve the active-duty service members and veterans, here at home and abroad. Our institution has received the Military-Friendly designation for ten consecutive years, demonstrating consistent commitment to service members and their transition from military life to student life. Visit our Military Students page to learn more about the special active-duty military tuition rate and other benefits.

Due to a number of factors and considerations, UofL cannot guarantee that authorization will be obtained for certain programs in a certain state. Please note if UofL is not authorized in a particular state, you are taking the following risks:
