Sullivan University is profit based and licensed to offer bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees by the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education in accordance with the provisions of KRS 164.945-164.99, based in Louisville, Kentucky and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools—the first for-profit college or university to receive this accreditation. Sullivan University currently has physical campuses in Louisville, Lexington, and Fort Knox, and an online campus. With approximately 6,000 students, Sullivan is Kentucky's largest private university.
Sullivan Business College was founded in 1962 by A.O. Sullivan and his son, A.R. Sullivan, as a one-year school preparing people for careers. In 1972, the school began to offer associate degrees in addition to its one-year career diplomas. The institution was renamed in 1976 to Sullivan Junior College of Business to reflect its authority to grant associate degrees, and moved to its present Louisville campus on Bardstown Road and the Watterson Expressway. The school soon expanded by opening additional campuses—its Ft. Knox campus was opened in 1982, and its campus in Lexington (currently on Harrodsburg Road) in 1985. In 1987 Sullivan opened the National Center for Hospitality Studies offering degrees in culinary arts, baking and pastry arts, hotel and restaurant management and catering. Sullivan College of Technology and Design and Spencerian College are also part of the Sullivan University System.
In 1990, the baccalaureate degree program was added, receiving its accreditation in 1992. The college first offered an MBA degree in 1997. The name was changed to its present designation, Sullivan University, in 2000, reflecting the college's growth. In 2008, Sullivan began its first doctoral program, the Doctor of Pharmacy, which is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). Pharmacy graduates are eligible to sit for the National Board Exam. In 2010, Sullivan launched its first Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program in management. Most of the university's degree programs are available online through Sullivan University Online.
