We believe that every institution of higher learning should teach a code ethics for good citizenship. To encourage its learners to share knowledge resources for what is right and our benevolence duty toward the human race and their needs. Such a sentiment should be our universal desire of finding an answer to a very old question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" The perfect answer to this question in its affirmative goes beyond genda, race, and nationality.

And so, "The great questioons now, more than ever, are moral questions. The future of the state, nationalism and internationalism, family,class divisions, the just management of business and industry, compel thoughtful persons to look for principles."

NDLU has recognized the need for continual self-development and improvement as the driving force of the future. That people need an affordable and flexable way of achieving their educational dreams. The new student comes with a fast-paced mentality and pride to improve themself without the traditional classrooms.

NDLU provides its learner with their options of achieving their goal that include life experience, on the job training, research and porfolio assessment that represents their field of choice. Our nonresident, no-campus at home, incar or on the go independent online or throught the mail is condusive to those who wish to take advantage of this opportuntiy for educational advancement by shring their life experience with others.

NDLU is not seeking secular recognition because our degrees are sacred and personal to each individual interest and life time achievement. Thtologically,we are operating under the principle of "Separation of Church and State", indicated by Christ when He said, "Render unto casesar the things that are casar's, and to God the things that are God's" (Mark 12:17).

NDLU and its founder seeks to adhere to the established and traditional faith of the early Christian Ecumenical Creeds which is Orthodoxy in nature and believe that each person that visited this site will act upon the principle of truth and the willingness to share their resources with other. All I have is from God. And this is the way to share blessings of God to others. This is a way of giving to others by recognizing their life time accomplishment before leaveing earth.
