History

In 1975, the Weekend College was established. It was aimed at aiding working people to attain a bachelor's degree.

In 2003, the college started the Accelerated College for working professionals. Towards this objective, it established partnerships with business and healthcare organizations in the area.

In 2004, the College instituted its first doctoral program, a PhD. in Instructional Leadership for Changing Populations.

In 2009, the School of Pharmacy was established, making Notre of Maryland the only Catholic women’s college in the county with a school of pharmacy.

In 2011, the school changed its name to Notre Dame of Maryland University.[4][5]

Campus

Notre Dame's campus is located in a residential Baltimore neighborhood and borders the Evergreen House of Johns Hopkins University. One of the buildings, Gibbons Hall, opened in 1873 and became "Notre Dame of Maryland," which offered instruction to girls and young women. The College's Marikle Chapel of the Annunciation was originally designed by Ephraim Francis Baldwin and Josias Pennington, and was restored in 2002 through a gift from Mac and Helen Marikle Passano '69 and their daughters.[6] Fourier Hall is an example of Art Moderne architecture. Noyes Alumnae House, on the property at the time of its purchase by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, was built in 1850.[7]

The College shares a library with Loyola University Maryland: the Loyola/Notre Dame Library, built primarily on land owned by College of Notre Dame.[8] The Knott family, whose name is borne on multiple buildings on both campuses, has offered many years of support.

Some Weekend College, Accelerated College and Graduate Studies courses are offered at off-site locations, including: Anne Arundel Community College, College of Southern Maryland, Higher Education and Conference Center (HEAT), Laurel College Center and Southern Maryland Higher Education Center.[9]
