LDCU

Founded in 1955 by Atty. Rodolfo N. Pelaez of Cagayan de Oro City and his wife Elsa Pelaez of Cebu City, the University was established with the primary mission to impart professional education to the youth of Northern Mindanao especially those who are deserving, but are financially-challenged. Envisioned to make relevant and quality education accessible to the youth, this higher institution of learning was founded as a catalyst in their total human formation anchored on universal moral values and Christian precepts. The University believes that educating the youth means instilling in them the commitment to academic excellence through a genuine interest in learning, self-discipline, and personal growth in order to realize their own potentials and to develop into fully integrated persons as they pursue their professional careers to become productive members of society.

Believing that combining work and study, social involvement and academic improvement is a major instrument for greater equity in the quest for a better life, the Liceo de Cagayan University commits to provide students with a dynamic curriculum that covers wide spectrum of educational objectives such as moral character, personal discipline, civic consciousness, citizenship training, and professional expertise enhanced by actual community outreach programs.

The Licean’s awareness of the problems of the community enables him to actively participate in the basic thrust of the programs and projects of the government. The student’s education is his tool in working out a firm foundation for the community. In so doing, Liceo de Cagayan University hopes that the students will be able to contribute to the sublime task of nation building. These beliefs continue to propel the University to produce the true Licean in mind, heart and spirit. Vision A leading Filipino University preparing responsible global leaders, anchored on Total Human Formation, for God, Country, and Humanity. Mission The University is committed to deliver quality instruction, research, and service learning for global integration.
