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.

Flexible Options

Many of our current students juggle careers and graduate school. In addition to our traditional class schedule, the HRD program offers several options that make it easier to manage a full-time job while pursuing a master’s degree.

Two Locations

Bowie State University, Main Campus

Located east of Washington, DC and south of Baltimore, Maryland, Bowie State’s main campus is accessible by Metro bus and the MARC Train Penn Line.

University System of Maryland at Southern Maryland, California, Maryland

We partner with the University System of Maryland at Southern Maryland (USMSM) to provide greater access to Bowie State programs for students who can’t go to the main campus. St. Mary’s, Calvert, Charles and lower Prince George’s counties are all within a 30-minute drive to this satellite location.

Scheduling Options

Short Courses & Evening Classes

Busy professionals can enroll in accelerated classes during the evenings at USMSM or on Saturdays during Weekend College at both locations. Courses are five weeks instead of the regular eight-week format.
