Graduation Rate
University of Louisville graduation rate is above the national average.
53% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to University of Louisville completed the education program and got a degree in 150 percent of the expected time of completion.
The graduation rate value includes only programs that were completed less than six years for four-year degrees or less than three years for two-year degrees.
Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes a huge number of students. This index doesn’t take into account students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading picture. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare institutions.

Student Reviews and Ratings for University of Louisville
Overall Rating:
If I could I would give UofL negative stars. I would have rather attended Hard Knocks University.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™University of Louisville is where I am doing my PhD. I really love what I do and my supervisor, professor Sharp, is a great person both in research and personally. I learnt a lot from him. I am in mechanical engineering school. They have been spending a lot of money recently to renovate all the instruments in the mechanical workshop. For example they added five new 3d printer for students to play with. Also, they bought 5 new micro cnc machines. There is also one faculty member that teach the students how to safely work with these new devices. For the measurement lab, a couple of new instruments have been purchased that are really awesome. Fluid mechanics lab also has new facilities to explore different aspects of the fluid mechanics concepts. Being a lab TA, I can tell for sure that all the ME students are enjoying the new facilities. They have also been hiring top ranked new faculty members. I know some of them, they are from very top universities and can add to the reputation of the ME department. So if you are thinking about joining the engineering group in University of Louisville, do not hesitate to do that. Good luck with your study and have fun.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Great professors, I can't think of one that I didn't learn a lot from during my years there. Made a lot of great friends. If you have other options, I would encourage you to consider them before this University, though. The administration is corrupt, you won't have to look too far to find out about the scandals of the University. I hate saying it because I had so many fond memories there, but you can get a quality education elsewhere and avoid contributing to the cash-grab by the University upper administration/athletic programs (Google: UofL and prostitution, read up about it for yourself).
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™It has been many years since I walked the University of Louisville campus as a student. Also, there have been many changes since that time. The changes have greatly improved this campus. I enjoyed my time there, have fond memories of this college and am proud to have been a student and always will be a Cardinal fan.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Thanks UL for the most frustrating years of my life. Trying to speak to an advisor is like finding an open checklane at Wal-Mart. Scheduling events for the advisors to attend on the day seniors are supposed to select classes is on the same level as a football bat. Hey, at least I've got my 50000 dollar piece of paper. I would rather put my genitals in a blender than redo my undergraduate course there. I met a few decent professors/doctors there, but most have their own heads shoved up their own ass so far they can seen the back of their teeth.
