The college was chartered in 1868 as the first college in the state of California authorized to grant the baccalaureate degree to women. In 1922, the Sisters purchased Ralston Hall, the county estate of William Chapman Ralston, founder of the Bank of California. The college opened its doors in Belmont in 1923. In 1953 the College of Notre Dame became a four-year college with 23 Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur〔http://www.snddenca.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Final-1950-timeline_WEB.jpg〕 involved in the school. The college introduced evening classes in 1955, and in 1965, started the teaching credential programs. Originally a women’s institution, College of Notre Dame became coeducational in 1967;〔 three men graduated as part of the class of 1970. The college expanded its offerings to include master's degrees in 1972 and added evening undergraduate programs in 1987. In 2001, the college established four schools: School of Arts and Humanities, School of Sciences, School of Business and Management, and School of Education and Leadership. The name was changed to Notre Dame de Namur University that same year. In 2009, the university began offering partnerships with local community colleges to provide greater access to higher education, and it became a Hispanic-Serving Institution, meaning at least 25% of its undergraduate population is Hispanic, that same year. A "Gen 1" program for first-generation students was added in 2010. The online degree program was established in 2012, and in 2013, the university introduced the first Ph.D. program in art therapy in the nation. The university established a new campus in Tracy, CA in 2015, offering evening undergraduate and graduate degree programs in business administration.〔http://www.ndnu.edu/about-us/ndnu-history.aspx〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Notre Dame de Namur University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
