Complementing the academic curricular offerings of Liceo de Cagayan University is a strong commitment to community development. Situated along the riverbanks of the Cagayan River enjoying a 600-meter long frontage, the University has made the protection, preservation, and conservation of the Cagayan de Oro River as her flagship community extension project. A government-private sector multi-disciplinary approach is in place to drum up support for community consciousness under the “Safer River, Life Saver” Foundation, Inc. in partnership with the Rodolfo N. Pelaez (RNP) Foundation, Inc. The RNP Foundation, Inc. enhances further the provisions of the scholarship programs to financially-challenged students and strengthens the promotion of the charitable activities for the welfare of the community. Expanding this thrust is a University-wide comprehensive effort to deliver social, educational, health, livelihood, sanitation, literacy, and environmental preservation consciousness through an immersion program in the rural communities.

In 2005, the RODELSA Hall, a state-of-the-art performing arts theater was built to support various cultural and performing arts presentations by local, national and international artists. It complements the University’s goal to develop the quality of “humaneness” in the academic community through an exposure to, and appreciation for culture and the arts. A facet of international diplomacy of the European Union Philippine Commission, the Cine Europa, has been hosted by the University for the past six years at the RODELSA Hall. The La Castilla Museum was also opened for the Liceo community and the public to further appreciate the Filipino Lifestyle in the 20th century. Additionally, the Folkloric Dance Troupe continues to reap international accolade through its performances in Asia and Europe including Russia while the Next Moves Dance Company, and the G-Clef Society have been acclaimed for their feat in local and national competitions.

The Office of External Relations and Internationalization was formally established in 2013. Its main objective is to further enhance institutional visibility and international understanding by exposing the faculty and the students to various cultures through the University’s academic programs, and set the world’s best practices in different disciplines as its benchmarks.

Linkages with foreign embassies awarded Liceo with sponsorships such as a series of Mcluhan lectures on Journalism by the Embassy of Canada, one of whose lecturers included the Ambassador of Canada, Germany’s Hanns Seidel Foundation Country Representative Herr Goetz Heinickie, the British Council, the USAID Director for Education, a four-day workshop on Creative Writing by the US Embassy cultural specialist, a lecture series on the Japanese classical theatre and the Haiku, staging of a modern genre of comedy featured by the British Council and a common on-line newspaper of Liceo High together with Islington High, at Green Bend, London. The University has various international Research Cooperation with the National University of Singapore, Singapore Botanic Gardens (Singapore), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), the Chulalongkorn University (Bangkok, Thailand), and the Oklahoma State University (USA).

The Liceo de Cagayan University Basic Education Dept. has been a partner of the Goethe Institut, the cultural arm of the German Embassy under the “Schools: Partners of the Future” program (Goethe Institut Philippinen), one of only a handful in the Philippines. The partnership became official upon the signing of the PASCH Memorandum of Understanding on September 10, 2013 by both parties. PASCH is an initiative of the Federal Foreign Office in cooperation with the Central Agency for Schools Abroad (ZFA) the Goethe-Institut (GI), the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Educational Exchange Service of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Lander in the Federal Republic of Germany (PAD). The Goethe-Institut under the “Schools: Partners of the Future” program aims to promote and support the teaching of the German language at excellent schools throughout the world.

In 2018, LDCU forged another partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding and Academic Collaboration with the Daffodil International University, Dhaka, Bangladesh to establish and develop partnership to promote academic and cultural exchange between the two institutions through mutual assistance, especially in the areas of teaching and research. The same partnership was established with the EMPI Group of Institutions, in New Delhi, India, the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology and Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences, and with Our Lady of Fatima University in Valenzuela, Manila, The University also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the International Mental Health Training Center in Taiwan.
