So You Heard About Speed School? Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's Not About Need for Speed (Unless You Need a Job, That Is)
Let's be honest, the name "Speed School" in Louisville sounds more like a training ground for NASCAR pit crews than engineers. But fear not, future Tony Starks and Elastigirls (because hey, material science is basically like superhero suit design!), Speed School is actually the J.B. Speed School of Engineering at the University of Louisville.

| What is Speed School Louisville |
A Legacy Built on Speed (Well, Sort Of)
Founded in 1924 (way before the movie came out, just sayin'), Speed School was named after James Breckenridge Speed, a Kentucky businessman whose kids wanted to honor their pops with a darn good engineering school. They must have really liked bridges or something, because engineers build a whole lot of cool stuff besides race cars.
What Kind of Speed Can You Get at Speed School?
Speed School offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs that focus on the nitty-gritty of how things work. We're talking about Bachelors degrees in all sorts of engineering disciplines, from the classics like civil and mechanical to the more futuristic-sounding bioengineering and computer engineering. They even have a mandatory co-op program, which basically means you get to work in the real world while you're still learning. Fancy, right?

This "Speed School" stuff isn't just a catchy name, though. Speed School is known for its focus on practical, hands-on learning. They like to get their students building stuff, tinkering with things, and not just memorizing textbook equations (although, that's probably important too).

If you're the kind of person who:
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
- Fixes your own toaster instead of calling a repair guy (or gal)
- Dreams of building robots that do your chores
- Thinks taking apart your childhood toys was totally normal playtime (it was!)
Then Speed School might be your jam.
