What Academic Programs and Degree Levels Does Bowie State University Offer?

Updated

Bowie State University offers more than 65 bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and certificate programs, according to the university's homepage. That range means you can start at the undergraduate level, add a graduate degree later, or pursue a certificate without committing to a full degree — all at the same institution.

Degree levels available

Level What it means for you
Bachelor's Undergraduate study, typically your first degree
Master's Graduate study after a bachelor's, often for career advancement or specialization
Doctoral The highest degree level offered, for advanced research or professional practice
Certificate Focused study in a specific area, shorter than a full degree

The homepage groups all four levels together in its count of "more than 65" programs, so the total spans every level rather than applying to just one.

How to explore the programs

The site's program exploration section is the entry point for browsing what's available. From the homepage, "Explore Our Programs" leads into that catalog. Once there, you can look through offerings by academic interest rather than reading a single flat list.

If you already know your field, go straight to that subject area and check which degree levels it appears under — a department may offer a bachelor's but not a doctorate, or a certificate alongside a master's.

Example academic interests

The homepage features a student profile that shows the kind of combination Bowie State supports. Ananias Miranda is described as a junior in Elementary Education with a minor in Theatre Arts. That example is useful for two reasons:

  • It confirms education and theatre arts are among the academic interests represented at the university.
  • It shows minors can pair with a major, so a program search doesn't have to be limited to a single department.

What to check before you apply

  • Degree level: Confirm the specific program you want is offered at the level you need — bachelor's, master's, doctoral, or certificate.
  • Program count: The "more than 65" figure covers all levels combined, so don't assume any single level has that many options.
  • Next steps: The homepage lists Visit, Apply, and Request Info as the actions to take once you've identified a program.
