Description
College of Notre Dame of Maryland was established as a four-year college in 1895. In 1899, Notre Dame became the first Catholic college for women in the United States to award the four-year baccalaureate degree to the members of the first graduating class. The School Sisters of Notre Dame remain the sponsoring congregation of the College, which follows the motto, Veritatem Prosequimur (We Pursue Truth).
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.
