University of Notre Dame in Haïti

Université Notre Dame d'Haïti (UNDH) is a Haitian university located in Port-au-Prince, with additional campuses in several other cities across the country.

In 1995, amidst the challenges faced by Haiti, a beacon of hope arose – Université Notre Dame d'Haïti (UNDH). Born from the vision of the Haitian Conference of Bishops, UNDH opened its doors with a mission to provide quality education infused with Catholic values. Stepping onto the scene in Port-au-Prince, it quickly established itself as a symbol of educational opportunity for students seeking knowledge and skills to contribute to their nation's development.

Early years saw UNDH blossom with two prominent faculties: Medicine and Health Sciences, and Economic, Social, and Political Sciences. These pillars addressed not only individual well-being but also the social and economic fabric of Haiti. As demand surged, the university expanded its reach, setting up additional campuses in Cap-Haitien, Cayes, and Jacmel. Each campus housed unique faculties, tailoring education to the specific needs of their communities.

The journey wasn't without challenges. Natural disasters and political instability tested the university's resilience. Yet, UNDH persisted, driven by its unwavering commitment to its students and Haitian society. It actively partnered with international organizations and engaged in research initiatives focused on tackling local health, environmental, and agricultural challenges.

Today, UNDH stands as a testament to the transformative power of education. Its unwavering dedication to academic excellence coupled with its strong Catholic ethos continues to guide generations of future leaders towards building a brighter future for Haiti.
