University of Louisville Reviews

"Masters of Accounting (MAC) is a 13 month program that was previously removed and brought back for 2019 with an entirely new concept to include accounting/analytics. Classes are in the evening 6-9:30pm about 2-3 times a week. Each class once a week, about 10x total, so you must learn a lot of information at once. There is with minimal homework/exams; there's a heavy focus on group-based projects/presentations/papers. Students are given Becker Unlimited to self-study for the CPA exam online throughout the program. LIKES + Cohort-based that is close-knit + Nice knowledgeable faculty + Ability to work full time and go to school + Becker and study abroad included in tuition + Large city with job opportunities DISLIKES - No choice in electives - No recruiting help for MAC students - CPA Schedule expected is unrealistic - Classes doesn't correlate with CPA study plan (ex: Financial Statement class taken when we're studying for BEC) Honestly, this MAC is more of an MBA with a focus in Accounting. MAC students do take non-accounting classes with MBAs (ex: Excel, Communications) except the name is changed on the transcript from MBA XXX into MAC XXX. Difference is that MAC tuition is less than MBAs, has 4 accounting courses, no elective options, and includes Becker Unlimited. It's a great way to work, go to school, and study for the CPA simultaneously if you have the dedication to focus. Having to juggle all three is why I believe the CPA pass rate is slightly lower than other programs that don't allow the flexibility to work full-time. I think its best for working young professionals needing more credits to reach 150 credits for the CPA, or actually need a Masters. I don't recommend for those who are solely looking to pass the CPA exam that already have 150 hours, as the curriculum wont help you pass. Courses focus more on skills valuable in the workplace, rather than focusing 100% on accounting classes as other MAC programs do. The fact that it includes Becker Unlimited and study abroad in tuition is a great deal. As someone who recently graduated undergrad and now in the MAC program, this was a great way to start my career, rather than waiting until graduation. Plus, I could use my new job to pay tuition. My cohort is very close, like a second family (#southernhospitality), which made it worth it. Overall, I do recommend this program as it has a lot of potential, great overall value.Read Less"

"Louisville's campus and facilities are beautiful. The buildings are classic, inviting and comfortable. I worked at the Office of Admissions and had the most wonderful time meeting fellow students and staff and created life long friendships and partners. I received the Cardinal Covenant scholarships which gave me the ability to graduate debt free. I also studied abroad and had a great experience with the study abroad office. All in all I had a great experience."

"I came to the University of Louisville after earning an Associate Degree at a Community College. I felt that I had little direction and that I was at a significant disadvantage because I was entering a new school as a junior. However, I quickly fell in love with the school and the program. The Art History program quickly provided me with a sense of community and purpose, with a diverse student body and faculty. Further, the training that I received at the University of Louisville vastly sharpened my critical thinking and problem solving skills. The curriculum required to earn the degree set me up to succeed in the job market, providing me with a well rounded education on the history of art. The professors were always gracious with their time, ensuring that all of my concerns were heard and always going the extra mile to provide support or recommendations to prospective employers. In addition to the program, the campus was easily accessible by public transportation, which was free with my student ID. Also, the Student Recreation Center is a first-rate training facility with a large weight room, in-door track, and multiple levels of basketball courts. As an urban campus, the University of Louisville still provides plenty of much needed green space, and is steps away from Old Louisville, one of Louisville's most charming neighborhoods. Because of its location, there is a large variety of restaurants and diners around on top of the on-campus dining options. In addition, the Speed Art Museum is right on campus and allows free admission to University of Louisville students.Read Less"

"The physics program is great. The counselors are very helpful and the classes are hard without being hopelessly and frustratingly difficult, which can not be said for a lot of programs here. However, the physics program is the best part of my experience at this school. I've had endless difficulties with the professors outside of my major, and the financial aid department single-handledly halted my education for 3 semesters now. That being said, the campus is beautiful, it's very expensive, but it's a good choice if you live in-state and like big schools.Read Less"

"The University of Louisville provided me with an all-encompassing degree in both the Psychology and Sociology fields. The professors were very knowledgeable and eager to teach the students. One downfall of the University is regarding their advising system. Throughout my undergrad, I was never advised by someone in the Psychology or Sociology departments, therefore my advising was never in line with my undergrad path. I hope that in the time since I've graduated that they have been able to improve upon this area.Read Less"

"University of Louisville has a newer public health program. All the professors have a wealth of experience as public health professionals and researchers in government, hospital systems, and international development. The class sizes are small and quite interesting for the most part. Professors are engaged and get to know the students. I enjoyed my experience."

"Getting my masters degree was one of the smartest things I have done. It thought me how to present information more clearly and how to be a better problem solver."

The instructors are phenomenal and their teaching styles are effective when it comes to understanding and applying the information learned. It is a wonderful college and provides so many opportunities in furthering your career. The instructors make the experience exceptional and are truly invested in the education of their students. I have been highly pleased and do not have the words to describe what a wonderful experience I have had with the University of Louisville. Everyone is so attentive and accommodating to the needs of the student. Again, I would highly recommend this school overall because everyone at the University of Louisville wants to see you succeed!!Read Less"

"The school overall is satisfactory. Great professors and staff as a whole. Problem lies at the top with administration. Relying upon the patient's you are given for mock board eligibility is stressful. Can't take mock boards unless you have completed a set number of requirements towards graduation. Can't take clinic boards until you've passed all sections of mock boards. Can't be a dentist until you have all you've completed clinic boards. Stressful, but welcome to dental school. As a class we feel like distoangulated impacted mandibular molars, we are all having a hard time getting extracted from ULSD.Read Less"

"As a native of Louisville, Kentucky, I knew first hand growing up that I wanted to attend the University of Louisville. My school has a prestigious reputation of having nation wide recognized programs that prepare their students for the career paths they choose to go. I am so thankful to be a graduate of the Kent School of Social Work. As a social work student at Kent I have learned multiple clinical social work skills that I will use each day in my future work as a medical social worker. One of the most profound skills I have learned that I use everyday is to the ability to work well with diverse populations. I have the appropriate skills sets to be a culturally competent social worker and I have found that I enjoy serving others that are different than me because they have taught me the value of social justice and what it looks like for everyone . I am thankful that the Kent School as prepared me as a professional and I plan to give back to the program in the future so that future students can too continue their education to becoming a good social worker.Read Less"

"The Kent School of Social Work at the University of Louisville has provided me the opportunity to engage and interact with a diverse population of students. I have been consistently challenged to stretch my intellect, and perhaps more importantly, my personal views and for this my life, and moving forward, my career, will be richer. The Kent School helped me gain confidence in my ability to bring about positive change in the people I work with and the society at large. The faculty is engaged, and excited to be in the classroom. Their passion, whether it be macro policy, or individual therapeutic assessment, is obvious. Their excitement is contagious, so you can't help but find yourself excited too.Read Less"

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the University of Louisville's Kent School of Social Work. While at first I was hesitant about joining a completely online program, I feel that the online Advanced-Standing Masters of Social Work program was interactive, highly educational, and fully prepared me for a career in social work. While my undergraduate studies focused specifically on micro-level clinical social work, my graduate education has expanded my knowledge to include such mezzo- and macro-level topics as grant writing, research, and the creation of educational materials. The program uses an ingenious mix of written materials, pre-recorded lectures, interactive media, and web-cam sessions. Most of my professors have been wonderful, and in addition to all of this, this program was one of the most affordable that I have come across! I am happy to say that I am leaving this program as a well-rounded, highly educated social worker. I look forward to a lifetime of learning, but my experience at U of L has given me a solid educational foundation and marketable skills. Thank you Louisville!Read Less"
