College of Business Home Page

The College of Business and Public Administration was founded in 1953. All of our business degree programs are accredited by the AACSB: The International Association of Management Education. Our Master of Public Administration program is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration.

Our students, graduates and faculty interact with businesses in Louisville, elsewhere in Kentucky and the U.S., as well as in Europe, Asia Pacific and Central America--three regions where we have graduates and MBA programs.

We educate future corporate, public and non-profit sector leaders, and entrepreneurs determined to start their own business. Many of our graduates stay in this region and help it prosper; others are spread across the nation and the world. (Our entrepreneurship program, an MBA concentration, was ranked seventh among the best 25 schools for entrepreneurs in Success magazine's 1998 report.)

To enhance teaching and learning, our students and faculty have access to some of the most sophisticated university-based telecommunications and computer information systems.

The modern, well-furnished CBPA building is located on UofL's main campus near the downtown business district. It houses comfortable, technologically-advanced classrooms, a large auditorium, numerous meeeting rooms and an advising and cooperative education office exclusively for CBPA students. Our building also contain's one of the university's two main campus computing centers, and we are less than 100 yards from UofL's main library.

The CBPA is active in local business and civic affairs. Students and faculty are involved in our Telecommunications Research Center, and incubator that helps nurture and launch informational technology start-up companies. We have a Center for Urban and Economic Research and a Center of Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development.
