Jan. 28 Transition to Virtual Operations, Campus Closed

Bowie State University will be transitioning to virtual operations for all classes and office operations on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. The campus will be closed to all non-essential personnel, and all campus activities are canceled. All buildings except residence halls will be closed. Essential personnel should report on time. This is due to the extended time required to clear the extensive snow and ice accumulation on campus. University crews are making every effort to resume campus operations, as a safe return to in-person learning and work remains our top priority. Only essential personnel and residential students are permitted access to the campus on Jan. 28. For more information, please visit BowieState.edu/weather.

Mathematics Concentrations

The Department of Mathematics offers three concentrations to allow students to explore specific interests that align with their career goals.

Concentrations

Review the program requirements for students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in mathematics

Applied and Computational Mathematics Concentration

The applied and computational mathematics concentration combines classical and modern techniques to solve practical problems using analytical reasoning. Applied mathematicians find success in hands-on fields like engineering, computing, aerospace, manufacturing and actuarial science. Students also receive a solid foundation for graduate study.
