Notre Dame of Maryland University is a private Catholic university in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. NDMU offers certificate, undergraduate, and graduate programs for women and men.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 52% graduation rate means roughly half of students who start don't finish, which is a real concern worth asking about during a visit.
