  • History

    The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, a Roman Catholic order of nuns that was founded in France, traveled to San Francisco to set up a missionary school. They established the College of Notre Dame in the nearby city of San Jose in 1851. In 1868, the school received a charter, which allowed it to be the first institution in the state of California to grant undergraduate degrees to women. In 1923, the campus was moved to a larger facility in the city of Belmont, California.NDNU: History

  • Ralston Hall

    The campus of NDNU is centered around the historical landmark of Ralston Hall, a lavish and well-preserved mansion that was commissioned in the 1860s by William Chapman Ralston, founder of the Bank of California.

    The 80-room hall is used for administrative offices, campus events, and is rented out to the public for weddings and conferences.NDNU Ralston Hall: History
