Institutional Accreditation

In 2018, NDU became officially accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), previously known as the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (CIHE) of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (NEASC). NDU is the second university in Lebanon and the only Catholic institution in the Middle East to have received this prestigious accreditation, joining the list of prominent universities holding the NECHE accreditation, such as Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Boston University, and Tufts University. Twelve institutions outside the United States have received this accreditation so far.

According to the NECHE visiting team in April 2018: “The University puts students at the center of all it does and in their interest prioritizes academic excellence and effectiveness. Full-time faculty and staff are engaged and committed to the success of every student.”
