Notre Dame of Maryland University is set to welcome one of its top three largest classes of new undergraduates for a second year in a row in the 2024-25 academic year, according to an Aug. 14 news release.

The Class of 2028 continues a trend at the Baltimore university of breaking enrollment records for new undergraduate students. Last year’s historic gender-inclusive first-year class had the second-highest number of new undergraduates all-time. New student move-in day is set for Aug. 23.

“We are very excited to welcome another group of first-year students as they begin their collegiate journey at Notre Dame,” said Dr. Marylou Yam, president of Notre Dame of Maryland University. “I am thankful to our admissions team, along with all supporting staff and faculty members across campus, for their efforts in introducing these students to our close-knit community through Notre Dame’s College Tour episode on Amazon Prime and several other initiatives.”

Notre Dame’s Class of 2028 includes:

  • Students from 11 countries and 15 states
  • Approximately 76 percent from Maryland
  • 43 percent first-generation college students

Student-athletes account for close to 33 percent of the incoming class, including several members of the university’s new baseball program, which will begin competition during the spring 2025 semester. Notre Dame currently sponsors 12 Division III sports playing in the United East Conference, with men’s lacrosse to be added as a 13th program during the 2025-26 academic year. Construction of a $2.2 million renovation to Alumnae Field will be completed in August 2024.
