Founded in 1798 as one of the nation's first city-owned, public universities, the University of Louisville (UofL) is a vital ecosystem that creates thriving futures for students, the community and society. As one of only 84 universities in the United States to earn recognition by the Carnegie Foundation as both a Research 1 and Community Engagement university, we are uniquely positioned to impact lives in areas of student success and research and innovation, while our dynamic connection with our local and global communities provides unparalleled opportunities for students and citizens both. Located just south of the heart of Kentucky's largest city, UofL's main campus (Belknap) is home to eight of the university's 12 academic schools and colleges: The College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business, the College of Education and Human Development, the J.B. Speed School of Engineering, the Graduate School, the Brandeis School of Law, the School of Music, and the Kent School of Social Work and Family Science. The Health Sciences Center campus is located in downtown Louisville's medical complex and is home to the schools of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Public Health and Information Sciences, along with the University of Louisville Hospital and UofL Health - Jewish Hospital. The UofL Health enterprise includes eight hospitals, four medical centers, the Frazier Rehab Institute, Brown Cancer Center and nearly 200 physician practice locations.
