About CND

         Welcome to the College of Notre Dame of Maryland (CND) in Baltimore, Maryland. The School Sisters of Notre Dame founded the College in 1873 with the primary mission of education women to transform the world. The weekend and graduate programs, however, are open to both men and women.

         At CND, students engage in a liberal arts education that fosters personal, professional, and spiritual growth. With a choice of 27 majors in the woman’s college, 11 majors in the weekend college, and 12 areas of study in the graduate program, students are able to pursue the education that will better prepare them for a future or current career. After graduation, students can be sure that they have received the best education possible from the first Catholic college for women in the U.S. to offer baccalaureate degrees.
