Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU) is a private, non-profit institution located in Belmont, California. Founded in 1851 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, it operates independently of state control and relies on tuition, donations, and endowments for funding.
As a private university, NDNU offers smaller class sizes and a personalized education experience. It is regionally accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) and provides undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. Unlike public universities, it does not receive government funding, which often results in higher tuition costs for students.
