Bowie State University is Maryland's oldest historically Black college or university. Its academic offerings span more than 30 undergraduate majors, more than 21 master's degree programs, more than 18 specialty certificates and three doctoral programs. Programs cover a variety of high-demand fields, with healthcare degrees among the areas featured in its academic portfolio. Hands-on learning and groundbreaking research are central parts of the university's approach.

The campus sits in Bowie, Maryland, within proximity to major metropolitan areas. That location gives students access to internships, career opportunities, cultural experiences and recreation beyond campus. Student life includes campus activities, athletics and Greek life. Support is available through the Student Success Center, which provides tutoring, the Engage Center, which helps students identify training, internships and jobs, and the Writing Center, which supports academic writing.

Sustainability is part of campus planning and infrastructure. A campus committee established in 2007 brings together students, faculty, staff and community partners to build awareness of climate change and sustainability. Bowie State has reduced gross carbon emissions by 66% since 2007 and generates between 15% and 20% of its energy needs from solar energy across seven sites. More than 60 bioretention facilities help manage stormwater, while three campus buildings have LEED certification. International students can expect a Maryland campus connected to metropolitan opportunities, with academic, career and student-support resources available as they plan their studies.
