Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), formerly known as the College of Notre Dame, was founded in 1851 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Notre Dame de Namur is the third-oldest college in California and the first authorized to grant the baccalaureate degree to women. Notre Dame de Namur began offering the MBA degree program in 1972. The institution changed its name to Notre Dame de Namur University in 2001.
Locations
Notre Dame de Namur University’s main campus is in Silicon Valley on the San Francisco Peninsula, one of the world’s most vital centers for business and innovation. That location in Belmont, California, is easily accessible by car or public transportation. The campus is on a historic estate of 50 wooded acres, providing a traditional college setting with evening classes for adult students. The university also offers the MBA in Tracy in the Central Valley, and online.
