Mission Statement

Adopted 1998, revised April 2003
Founded upon the values of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and rooted in the Catholic tradition, Notre Dame de Namur University is committed to providing strong liberal arts studies and undergraduate and graduate professional programs while addressing the constantly changing educational needs of our diverse society. We encourage our students to develop their potential in a supportive environment and challenge them to share what they have learned through service and the promotion of social justice and global peace. We are a center for values-based learning where students are enabled to build character, competence, and confidence for life and work.

Vision Statement

Guided by the ideals of global peace, social justice, and community service, NDNU will be the leader in values-based higher education for our region.
