Bellarmine University 

Bellarmine University is an independent, liberal arts, Catholic university, 

founded in 1950 by the Archdiocese of Louisville. In 1968, Bellarmine 

merged with Ursuline College and became an independent university 

governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. Bellarmine continues 

in the Catholic tradition, the oldest continuing tradition of higher 

education in the history of the world. The university is named for Robert 

Bellarmine, Jesuit, Cardinal and Saint. Our spiritual and ethical 

role model is Trappist Monk and author Thomas Merton, champion of 

social justice, peace, ecumenism, ecology, and contemplative practice. 

Merton’s works are collected at the world-renowned Merton Center on 

Bellarmine’s campus. 

Five miles from downtown Louisville, Bellarmine is set in the Highlands 

neighborhood. Our scenic 135-acre campus consists of 29 buildings 

featuring the Norton Health Science Center, the W.L. Lyons Brown 

library, seven residence halls, a chapel in the woods, campus center, and 

recreational facilities, such as indoor and outdoor tennis courts; a fitness 

center; and athletic fields including a state-of-the-art stadium that’s home 

to lacrosse, soccer, field hockey, and track & field. 

The heart and soul of Bellarmine is our talented and caring faculty. 

The university boasts one hundred and seventeen full-time faculty, with 

81 percent holding a Ph.D. or the highest degree in their field. With a 13- 

to-1 ratio of students to faculty and an average class size of 19, Bellarmine 

students get personal, considerate attention in small-class settings. 

A diverse student body from 30 states and 17 foreign countries studies 

at Bellarmine. Our total enrollment is approximately 2,856 of which 

nearly 2,000 are full-time undergraduate students. 

Bellarmine offers semester, yearlong and summer study-abroad programs 

in 58 countries on six continents. We also offer a comprehensive 

internship program, ensuring that Bellarmine students get on-the-job 

access to real-world job experience in the field of their choice. 

Bellarmine offers more than 50 majors in the arts and sciences, business, 

education, nursing and health sciences. We also offer a five-year Accounting/MBA 

program. Graduate degrees include MBA, Executive MBA, 

MA in Communication, MSN, MA Education MAT, MSLA (Laboratory 

Science), MAIT (Applied Information Technology), MA Spirituality and 

Doctor of Physical Therapy. For a complete list of majors and programs 

available, please visit www.bellarmine.edu/programs. 

Louisville—A Sports Lover’s Town 

Although Louisville ranks as the 16th largest city in America, it is able 

to maintain its small town charm and feel while offering all the big city 

amenities: an award-winning arts scene with top level theater, music and 

visual arts; a parks system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted that is the 

envy of cities nationwide; a vibrant downtown life, recently invigorated 

with the addition of 4th Street Live, Waterfront Park, Louisville Slugger 

Field, Extreme Park, the state-of-the-art Ali Museum honoring the 

“greatest,” and the e-Main USA Technology corridor; and a zoo that offers 

world-class exhibits such as the Gorilla Forest, which recently earned 

special recognition from the American Zoological Association. 

Louisville is a sports lovers’ city. Home to the world-famous Kentucky 

Derby, Louisville each year welcomes hundreds of thousands of race fans to 

Churchill Downs to experience the most exciting two minutes in sports. 

But Louisville has so many more sporting thrills to offer. The Louisville 

Bats, the Triple-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, play ball in downtown 

Louisville’s charming Slugger Field. And, of course, Louisville is home to 

the famous Louisville Slugger, whose headquarters offer daily bat factory 

tours and an interactive museum full of baseball memorabilia. The city 

also boasts Freedom Hall, a 19,000-seat arena that has hosted six NCAA 

Final Fours, along with countless college and high school games, NBA 

exhibition games, minor-league hockey contests, and Arena Football 

League games. And the Muhammed Ali Center celebrates the values and 

life of The Greatest Of All Time. 

Louisville’s golf courses are some of the finest in the Midwest, as 

evidenced by the PGA’s selection of Jack Nicklaus-designed Valhalla for 

the 1996 and 2000 PGA Championships, the 2004 Senior PGA Championship, 

and the 2008 Ryder Cup. 

With its renowned Olmstead Parks System and ambitions new “City of 

Parks,” Louisville is also a paradise for amateur sports lovers. The thrilling 

Extreme Park offers excitement for skaters, skateboarders, and bikers, 

including 40,000 square feet of skating surface and a 24-foot full pipe. 

The city’s parks offer everything from hiking to golf to tennis to soccer, 

to Frisbee golf. And the beautiful Ohio River is a spectacular playground 

for boating, skiing, and fishing. 

With all of that going for it, it’s little wonder that Places Rated Almanac 

consistently ranks Louisville as one of the best places to live in 

America.

Dr. Joseph J. McGowan, 

President 

Dr. Joseph J. McGowan was appointed as Bellarmine 

University’s third president in 1990. 

He came to the position uniquely qualified, 

having served for twenty-one years at Fordham 

University in New York as vice president 

and dean. Before that he was an admissions 

and financial aid officer at the University of 

Notre Dame. He received his doctorate in 

higher education from Columbia University 

in New York and earned his bachelor’s and 

master’s degrees from the University of Notre Dame. He also is a graduate 

of Harvard University’s Institute for Educational Management. 

Dr. McGowan led the transformation of Bellarmine College to Bellarmine 

University, which has been named as one of the region’s best 

comprehensive schools by U.S. News and World Report for 16 continuous 

years. Bellarmine University also is highly rated by the Princeton Review 

and Forbes.com. 

With the creation of 20 new academic programs centered on the 

revised liberal arts core, Bellarmine has experienced a 45% increase in 

full-time undergraduate enrollment and a 60% increase in total full-time 

enrollment over the past ten years. Our student quality and program 

quality remain at all-time highs as demonstrated by our ACT/SAT score 

and accreditation indicators. 

Student life has been enriched by the establishment of Campus Ministry, 

a Student Counseling Center, Health Center, and Commuter Student 

Center. The number of residence students has grown from 476 to almost 

1,000. The Athletic program focus has resulted in an increase in intercollegiate 

sports teams from 15 to 19, including NCAA Division I Men’s 

Lacrosse, and construction of the new Owsley Frazier Stadium. 

Under Dr. McGowan’s leadership, providing resources for Bellarmine 

has been very successful as efforts have resulted in an increase of over 

21% in the University’s operating budget revenue over a 3-year period. 

The beautiful 135-acre campus has seen an increase in the number of 

buildings from 15 in 1990 to 40 buildings today, providing 810,000 

square feet of wonderful teaching and living space – while winning 11 

architectural awards. 

In addition to his leadership on the Bellarmine campus, Dr. McGowan 

is active in the civic and service life of the community, Commonwealth 

and nation. He most recently served on the boards of the National Association 

of Independent Colleges and Universities of which he is Chair, 

the American Council on Higher Education, the Council of Independent 

Colleges, the Executive Committee of Greater Louisville Inc., the Association 

of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities, Kentuckiana 

Metroversity, the Frazier International History Museum, and the J. B. 

Speed Art Museum. 

In Vision 2020, Dr. McGowan has newly envisioned Bellarmine University 

as the premier independent Catholic university in the South and 

thereby the leading private university in the Commonwealth and region, 

and presently is involved in building the University’s faculty, academic and 

student life, and building the resources to realize Vision 2020. 

Dr. Fred Rhodes, 

Vice President for academic 

and student life 

Dr. Fred W. Rhodes was appointed Vice President 

for Student Affairs and Dean of Students at Bellarmine 

University in 1991 and currently serves as Vice 

President for Academic and Student Life. 

Under Dr. Rhodes’ leadership, Academic and 

Student Life are thriving in their mission of providing services to students 

in the areas of career services, counseling, internships, student activities, 

residence life, campus ministry, service learning and volunteerism, disability 

services, international and minority student services, intramural 

sports, wellness and health services, library, registrar, Merton Center, 

food services and athletics. He is also involved in service learning and 

volunteerism in the Louisville area and has created volunteer experiences 

for students and faculty in Central and South America and the Caribbean. 

Dr. Rhodes has taught at the University of South Florida, University of 

Tennessee, University of Louisville and Bellarmine University. He has 

served on student affairs faculty programs at the University of South 

Carolina, University of Arizona, Emory University, Tulane University, 

Clemson University and the University of Georgia. Dr. Rhodes was 

named a Fulbright Scholar in 2007. 

Before joining Bellarmine, Dr. Rhodes served in student affairs posts 

at the University of Louisville and the University of Central Arkansas. 

He received his doctorate in education from Mississippi State University; 

his M.S. from the University of Tennessee; and his bachelor’s was 

earned (with honors) at Maryville College. Dr. Rhodes has also done 

post-graduate study at Harvard University. 

Dr. Rhodes is a member of numerous professional organizations and has 

served in leadership positions in organizatons such as the Southern Association 

of College Student Affairs (SACSA), the National Association of Student 

Personnel Administrators (NASPA), and the College Personnel Associations 

of Arkansas and Kentucky. Dr. Rhodes is the recipient of NASPA’s John Jones 

Award for Outstanding Service as Dean in the Southeast and the Melveen 

D. Hardy Award for outstanding contributions in research and service to the 

profession of Student Affairs administrators. 

Scott Wiegandt, 

Director of Athletics 

Scott Wiegandt is in his sixth year as athletics director 

of Bellarmine University, after serving the previous 

two years as assistant athletics director. During his 

tenure, the Bellarmine athletics program has shown 

major improvements within the GLVC, jumping from 

8th among 11 schools during his first year to ranking 

third out of 13 schools in the 2008-09 All-Sports Trophy standings. 

Facilities also have seen a dramatic upgrade. The construction of Owsley 

B. Frazier Stadium and the Eddie Weber Tennis Complex, as well as 

renovations to Knights Hall and the baseball and softball facilities, have 

come under Wiegandt’s watch. He also oversaw the addition of Division 

I men’s lacrosse. 

Wiegandt is a member of the National Association of Collegiate Directors 

of Athletics, the National Association of Athletic Development 

Directors, the national board of directors for the Division II Athletics 

Directors Association, and the board of directors of the Greater Louisville 

Sports Commission. Previously, he served on the GLVC’s executive committee 

and basketball championship committee and the St. Catherine’s 

College Advisory Board. 

Wiegandt began his affiliation with Bellarmine as a student and a 

pitcher on the baseball team. He was an NCAA Division II All-American 

in 1989, the same year he earned his degree in biology. When selected 

by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1989 draft, Wiegandt began a 10-year 

professional baseball career, spending eight seasons with the Phillies’ and 

one each with the St. Louis Cardinals’ and Pittsburgh Pirates’ organizations. 

He posted a 2.97 career ERA in over 400 appearances, including 

five seasons at AAA. 

After teaching and coaching at Holy Cross High School, Wiegandt 

returned to Bellarmine to coach the baseball team and earn his master’s 

degree. He served as head coach for four seasons before moving into his 

administrative duties. 

Wiegandt is married to the former Danielle Atzinger, who holds two 

graduate education degrees from Bellarmine. She is currently principal at Holy 

Cross High School. They have three children: Caleb, Callie, and Cole.

Owsley B. Frazier Stadium 

In the fall of 2007, Bellarmine dedicated the $5.1 million Owsley B. 

Frazier Stadium on the school’s campus, just off of Newburg Road. This 

state-of-the-art facility is now the home of Bellarmine’s soccer, field 

hockey, lacrosse, and track teams. The artificial field surface, called the 

Joseph P. and Janet A. Clayton Field, was installed by the Motz Group 

and is the same “24/7” product as can be found at the football fields 

used by the Miami Dolphins and the University of Kentucky. The track 

facilities include an eight-lane dual-durometer polyurethane poured 

surface provided by Benyon Sport Surfaces, as well as three long jump 

pits, two pole vault areas, a high jump pit, and a water steeplechase pit. 

The field can also be fully lit for night play. It seats approximately 2,000 

spectators and has a concession stand and press box facility. 

Knights Hall 

Knight’s Hall is home to Bellarmine basketball and volleyball. Built in 

1960, Knights Hall has an atmosphere all its own and can seat up to 

3,000 passionate Knight fans. While “retro” in appearance, Knights 

Hall has plenty of modern amenities. The newly remodeled President’s 

room, complete with couches and a bar, overlooks the court from the 

east baseline, while the recently re-painted court includes the BU logo 

and the NBA charge line. The scorers’ bench features five back-lit tables 

and a modern sound and public address system. 

Besides housing all of Bellarmine’s home basketball and volleyball 

contests, Knights Hall is also used for numerous high school games, 

graduation ceremonies, and concerts. The Hall was dedicated in 1960 

with a home game against the University of Louisville and has since 

featured some great matchups starting in the ’60s with rival and NAIA 

national champion Kentucky State, to Fly Williams and his teams 

from Austin Peay, all the way up to the Knight’s women’s basketball 

regional championship games of the ’90s. The arena has also hosted 

some very special guests including Mother Teresa, the Grateful Dead, 

Jimmy Buffett and Pete Rose among others. In 2007, Knights Hall 

was featured on ESPN when NBA greats such as Bill Walton, Darrell 

Griffith, and Kenny “Sky” Walker judged the McDonald’s High School 

All-American Slam Dunk Contest. 

Knights Field 

Bellarmine’s baseball and softball teams each have a home at Knights 

Field. Both diamonds are natural grass and are located on campus. The 

baseball field was built in 1954 and has been renovated several times. 

It now features an elevated press box overlooking home plate as well 

as covered dugouts, bullpens, a batting cage and a large electronic 

scoreboard in right field. The field dimensions are 360 feet down the 

left field line (where the fence is now 20-feet hight), 385 feet to dead 

center, and 340 feet down the right-field line. 

The softball field has a full service concession stand located behind 

home plate as well as covered dugouts and an electronic scoreboard 

located in left field. The field dimensions are 190 feet down the foul 

lines and 220 feet to center. Both fields have bleacher seating to accommodate 

300 spectators as well as ample hillside grass seating. 

SuRF Center 

The Student Recreation and Fitness Center (SuRF) contains three 

indoor tennis courts, six new outdoor courts, an exercise and fitness 

area, a free play area, locker rooms, offices and a student lounge. The 

exercise floor is supplied with treadmills, bikes, elliptical weight machines 

and free weights. Floor mats are also available for stretching. 

Table tennis and a pool table are also available.
