“Catholic liberal arts and health sciences in Baltimore — now fully coeducational”
Notre Dame of Maryland University is a private Catholic liberal arts university on a 60-acre wooded campus in Baltimore, Maryland. Founded in 1895 by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, the university became fully coeducational in Fall 2023 after 128 years as a women's institution. NDMU ranks #50 among Regional Universities North and #10 Best Value Schools North (U.S. News 2026), with a 10:1 student-faculty ratio and a 10-year median graduate salary of $65,344 — driven by nursing, radiation therapy, and healthcare management programs. In August 2025, NDMU merged with Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH), adding a new School of Integrative Health offering graduate programs in nutrition, herbal medicine, yoga therapy, and health coaching. Baltimore's extensive healthcare ecosystem — including Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland Medical System, and the National Institutes of Health — provides rich clinical placement and career opportunities for health sciences students. International students represent approximately 3.5% of the undergraduate student body.
