College of Notre Dame of Maryland (NDM)

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.
