History
The Roman Catholic academic/educational religious order of the School Sisters of Notre Dame founded the school in 1873. It originally established and named the "Notre Dame of Maryland Preparatory School and Collegiate Institute". The N.D.M.U. now is one of the oldest institutions of higher education for women in the United States.
Originally called "Notre Dame of Maryland Preparatory School and Collegiate Institute" since its founding in 1873, (today's equivalent of elementary, middle, and high schools) — the College of Notre Dame of Maryland was raised to the level of a four-year college for under-graduates in 1895. The lower preparatory school (high school in modern terminology) moved from CND's North Charles Street location to its current campus further north in suburban Baltimore County at the county seat of Towson in 1960, and is now known as "Notre Dame Preparatory School (or "Notre Dame Prep" for short).
In 1896, the Collegiate Institute became the first four-year Roman Catholic college for women in the United States.
In 2011, the College of Notre Dame of Maryland attained university status with the addition of several graduate-level programs and changed its name to the "Notre Dame of Maryland University", by the approval of the state legislature, the General Assembly of Maryland, various regional accrediting agencies and the Roman Catholic Church.

Campus
Notre Dame of Maryland's campus is located on the main commercial/business and cultural street leading north to the formerly rural, now suburban Baltimore County from downtown Baltimore to the northern reaches of the City, North Charles Street. N.D.M. is situated between the wealthy residential neighborhoods from the early 20th Century of Homeland and Guilford, just north of the cross-town, Cold Spring Lane, and adjacent to the "Evergreen" campus of Loyola University Maryland (formerly Loyola College) to the south (occupied since 1922). It borders to the south, the historic landmark Greek Revival styled mansion of the Garrett family.
Adjacent to the Montrose House (1850) on the original property site purchased by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, one of the first buildings, "Gibbons Hall", was constructed in an "L-shaped" structure. It surmounted by its landmark white wooden tower, and opened in 1873 and became the landmark site symbolizing "Notre Dame of Maryland," which offered instruction to girls and young women. Gibbons Hall was named for the then incumbent Archbishop of Baltimore and second American Cardinal of the Church, James Gibbons.
The University's Marikle Chapel of the Annunciation was originally designed by notable architects Ephraim Francis Baldwin and Josias Pennington. It was restored in 2002. Fourier Hall is an example of Art Moderne architecture. The renamed "Noyes Alumnae House", which was the former Montrose estate of a red brick Greek Revival style of architecture was built in 1850, on the southwest corner of the campus. Several buildings on the campus were designed by architect George Archer
The University shares a library with the neighboring Loyola University Maryland. The Loyola/Notre Dame Library was built primarily in a valley on land primarily owned by Notre Dame of Maryland and located between the two Roman Catholic campuses, with a road access to the east to York Road (Maryland Route 45) and the Govans community.
Some courses from the College of Adult Undergraduate Studies and College of Graduate Studies are offered at off-site locations, including: Anne Arundel Community College, College of Southern Maryland, Northeast Maryland Higher Education Center, Laurel College Center, and Southern Maryland Higher Education Center.
