Bellarmine University (/ˈbɛlərmɪn/BEL-ər-min; BU) is a private Catholic university in Louisville, Kentucky. It opened on October 3, 1950, as Bellarmine College, established by Archbishop John A. Floersh of the Archdiocese of Louisville and named after Saint Robert Bellarmine.[4] In 2000, it became Bellarmine University. The university is organized into seven colleges and schools and confers bachelor's and master's degrees in more than 50 academic majors, along with seven doctoral degrees;[5] it is classified among "D/PU: Doctoral/Professional Universities".[6]
The university has an enrollment of around 3,000 students on its main 135-acre (0.55 km2) academic and residential campus in Louisville's Belknap neighborhood.[7]
Its athletic teams are known as the Knights. Bellarmine is a member of NCAA Division I and competes in the ASUN Conference, with exceptions in: wrestling (Southern Conference), field hockey (Mid-American Conference), and men's and women's swimming & diving (Coastal Collegiate Sports Association). Bellarmine's men's basketball team won the 2011 NCAA Men's Division II Basketball Tournament,[8] the first athletic national championship in school history.[9] In only its second year in Division I, the Bellarmine men's basketball team captured the ASUN Championship in 2022.[10]
