Holy Name University is a private, Catholic, research, co-educational basic and higher education institution run by the Philippine Southern Province of the Society of the Divine Word in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines.[1] It was founded by Fr. Alphonse G. Lesage, SVD a Divine Word Missionary in 1947. It offers programs in elementary, secondary and tertiary levels.[1] Its tertiary offerings include courses in Arts and Sciences (CAS), Education (COED), Nursing, Medical Technology, Radiologic Technology (CHS),Commerce and Accountancy (CBA), Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology (COECS) and Law (COL) Aside from instruction, HNU engages in research and community extension.[2][3]

It is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU).[4]

The school originally had two campuses in Tagbilaran City: the main building (also called Lesage Campus) at the corner of Lesage and Gallares streets and the Janssen Heights Campus in Dampas district. After the October 2013 7.2 magnitude earthquake, the whole operation of the university has been transferred to the Janssen Heights Campus due to the structural damage suffered by the Lesage Campus main building.[4]
