The University of Louisville continues to boost its reputation for academic excellence with several of its online programs once again earning national acclaim.
Three UofL programs are rated in the top 21% in the country by U.S. News & World Report in their 2025 list of Best Online Programs. The rankings underscore UofL’s commitment to providing high-quality, flexible education options for nontraditional students and working professionals.
U.S. News & World Report rated UofL’s Bachelor of Science in Psychology at No. 9 in the country, placing it in the top 19%; Undergraduate Business Programs at No. 21 in the country, placing it in the top 10%; and MBA program at No. 75 in the country, placing it in the top 21%.
Several other UofL degrees also appear in the online program rankings including criminal justice, education, information technology and programs for veterans.
Kelvin Thompson, vice provost for online strategy and teaching innovation at UofL’s Delphi Center for Teaching and Learning, highlighted the importance of online education in advancing lives and careers while offering the flexibility to balance life’s responsibilities.
“Providing accessible, high-quality online education is a vital component of our mission at the University of Louisville,” Thompson said. “Our students come from all walks of life and in all manner of circumstances – first generation, post-traditional, under-resourced, etc. – and recognition from organizations like U.S. News & World Report reaffirms our commitment to excellence in everything we do.”
UofL’s online programs are designed to offer flexibility and accessibility while maintaining academic rigor. With dedicated faculty, a student success team with a range of student support services and online student scholarships, UofL continues to empower learners from diverse backgrounds to achieve their educational goals.
The online programs rankings are just one category where U.S. News and World Report recognizes UofL in the top tiers of higher education. For example, in 2024, UofL’s School of Medicine appeared multiple times on the Best Medical Schools lists, coming in at No. 21 for most diverse medical schools, No. 41 in most graduates practicing in rural areas and No. 65 in most graduates working in primary care.
