College of Notre Dame of Maryland School Description

The College of Notre Dame of Maryland educates women as leaders to transform the world. Embracing the vision of the founders, the School Sisters of Notre Dame, the college provides a liberal arts education in the Catholic tradition. Distinctive undergraduate and graduate programs challenge women and men to strive for intellectual and professional excellence, to build inclusive communities, to engage in service to others, and to promote social responsibility.

Your choice of college says a lot about who you are as a person, and what you want to do in life. That’s where Notre Dame is decidedly distinctive—and why we attract so many top students.

Yes, we are a college with a rich history of excellence in providing a liberal arts education. But we also are a community in a very real sense—one that is strengthened by shared values of inclusiveness, social responsibility, and service woven within the Catholic tradition.

In our core undergraduate Women’s College, young women realize their authentic potential and creative voice in small classes with highly individual attention. Our Weekend College and Accelerated College reaches out to both women and men with part-time undergraduate programs, conveniently scheduled to meet the needs of working adults. And, our Graduate Studies division opens doors for post-baccalaureate students in a number of pre-professional, career-focused, and academic programs, including a Ph.D. in Instructional Leadership for Changing Populations and our new Doctor of Pharmacy program.

So, what makes Notre Dame so different? Just this: We’ll help you learn how to make a real difference in your life—and in the world.

Notre Dame is situated in a beautiful residential neighborhood of Baltimore, on the crest of gently sloping wooded ridge, punctuated by the ornate landmark tower of Gibbons Hall. Just 15 minutes from the lively cultural and shopping attractions of downtown Baltimore and the Inner Harbor, the College is also a short 25-minute drive from Thurgood Marshall - Baltimore/Washington International Airport (with direct flights into Baltimore from 30 cities and 12 airport hubs) and 10 minutes from Penn Station’s Amtrak service.

College of Notre Dame of Maryland

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

College of Notre Dame of Maryland, is an independent, Catholic-affiliated, liberal arts college located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, that primarily serves women students.

History

Founded in 1873 by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, the College of Notre Dame stands as one of the oldest institutions of higher education for women in the United States. Today it is best known for its fine liberal arts programs, its widely admired Elizabeth Morrissy Honors Program, its dedication to educating a diverse student body (a leader among private colleges in Maryland), and its commitment to providing rigorous academic programs, based in the liberal arts, to non-traditional learners.

In April 1896, the College of Notre Dame became the first Catholic women's college in the United States chartered to offer the bachelor of arts degree. Its traditional program for women continues as the only one of its kind in Maryland. The first institution on the East Coast to offer working women and men the opportunity to earn a bachelor's degree through weekend coursework, the College has continued as a leader in providing innovative part-time undergraduate and graduate programs for adults.

Until the fall of 1960, Notre Dame Preparatory School, a Catholic school offering grades 1-12 for girls, shared the college campus. Increased enrollments at the college and the prep school necessitated a move by the prep school from the Charles Street campus to Towson, Maryland. Today, Notre Dame Prep serves girls in grades 6-12.

Notre Dame's beautiful and historic campus is set amidst Baltimore's most prestigious neighborhoods. Its signature building, Gibbons Hall, opened in 1873 and was home to "Notre Dame of Maryland," which offered instruction to generations of girls and young women. Other landmark spaces include the College's Marikle Chapel of the Annunciation, originally designed by Baldwin and Pennington and restored in 2002 through a gift from Mac and Helen Marikle Passano '69 and their daughters; Fourier Hall, a stunning example of Art Moderne architecture; and Noyes Alumnae House, built in the 1840s.
