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.
