The U of L Belknap Campus, just a few miles from downtown Louisville, houses seven schools and colleges. Located in downtown Louisville is the Health Sciences Center, which houses the university's health-related programs and the University of Louisville Hospital. The Shelby Campus is located in eastern Jefferson County.

History

University of Louisville was conceived in 1798 as the Jefferson Seminary in Louisville, and opened in 1813. By 1829 it had closed. In 1837, the Louisville Medical Institute (LMI) and the Louisville Collegiate Institute (LCI) opened. In 1840, LCI changed its name to Louisville College, and later inherited the estate of the Jefferson Seminary that was designated for higher education in Louisville. While LMI thrived, LCI did not. In 1846, the medical school and college were combined with a newly created law school to form the University of Louisville. The college did not survive this change, while the other two divisions prospered.

In 1907, the liberal arts college was revived and added new programs that included the Graduate School, Speed Scientific School, University College, School of Music, and others. A full-time faculty and administrative staff were appointed before the onset of World War I.

After World War II, there was an effort to desegregate the local colleges and the university. Desegregation was achieved from 1950 to 1951. In 1970, the university joined the state system of higher education for financial survival.
