Notre Dame of Maryland University

Transform the World By Being the Best You

In 1895, our founders built an institution to educate students who are hungry to make their mark on the world and be a force for positive change. All of our programs provide a firm foundation in the arts, the sciences, and, most importantly, the deeper question of who you are and what you want to achieve. Because creating a better world starts with creating the best you.
