History

A College was established in Arambagh, Motijheel, Dhaka in November, 1949. It was established by the Roman Catholic Priests from the Congregation of Holy Cross because of the crisis in the education sector of the new born East Pakistan. It was known as the St. Gregory College, an extension of the St. Gregory's School, which was also established by the mission. It was relocated to its current location in Motijheel in 1954 and renamed as Notre Dame College. The new name was a tribute to the University of Notre Dame, the alma mater of many of the faculty members.
