BACKGROUND
On
July 1, 1988, Bowie State College officially became
Bowie
State
University
, a change reflecting significant growth in the Institution's programs,
enrollment, and the service to the area. On that same day, the
University also became one of 11 constituent institutions of the newly
formed University System of Maryland. In fall 1993,
Bowie
State
University
took a distinctive step into the international market by becoming the
first historically black university in the nation to expand its
satellite and continuing education programs overseas. In partnership
with the University of Maryland University College,
Bowie
State
now offers graduate programs in management information systems and
administrative management to military personnel stationed in
Germany
.
HEALTH
RELATED ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
The Department of Nursing offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a
Masters of Science in Nursing.
OTHER
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Bowie
State
University
now serves a student population that has grown more
than 50 percent in recent years. Students are technologically
sophisticated, culturally diverse, and internationally sensitive. To
provide the resources necessary to graduate students who will become
leaders in a competitive and technologically sophisticated market, the
University has expanded its academic resource base with a number of
innovative initiatives. Discipline-based technology, research, and a
commitment to community service have been integrated throughout the
academic curriculum. Additionally, the academic schools of Education and
Professional Studies and Arts and Sciences reflect the University's
growth as a regional comprehensive institution.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
In
1995,
Bowie
State
University
won an 11-year, $27 million award from the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration/National Science Foundation to become one of only
six national Model Institutions for Excellence in science, engineering,
and mathematics. This award, which significantly strengthens the
Institution's academic infrastructure, builds on an already excellent
computer science program that ranks fifth in the nation in graduating
African American students earning a master's degree. The University has
also undergone significant internal evaluation to streamline academic
and administrative processes to ready itself for a new and increasingly
competitive marketplace. In recognition of that ongoing process,
Bowie
State
was selected to be one of 21 national participants in the American
Council on Education/Kellogg Project on Leadership and Institutional
Transformation. In recent
years,
Bowie
State
has emerged as a regional comprehensive university and a jewel in the
crown of the University System of Maryland.
