About Notre Dame College
Notre Dame College provides an excellent education for students looking for a coeducational, career-focused, liberal arts college. In contrast to a large university, Notre Dame College is known for small class size and personalized attention.
Notre Dame College is tucked away in a quiet suburban neighborhood just outside of Cleveland, Ohio - a small liberal arts college in Greater Cleveland. We value the low student-faculty ratio.

In July 2003, Dr. Andrew Roth was named president by the Board of Directors. He became the 13th president and the second lay president in the college’s history.
