The Notre Dame University, also referred to by its acronym NDU, is a private Catholic research basic and higher education institution run by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in Cotabato City, Philippines.

When it opened, there were only 128 students and a pioneering faculty of eight, with classes being held at the Notre Dame of Cotabato Girls Department building the first year.

Hence, NDU enjoys the following benefits: Issuance of Special Order, Deregulated Monitoring/ Evaluation of CHED, Access to Subsidies/ Assistance, Curricular Prescriptions, and Conferring Honoris Causa.

[citation needed] On January 4, 2021 Commission on Higher Education (CHED) awarded the Autonomous Status to Notre Dame University.
